"Initial Create" is NOT created automatically! You need to create that yourself. Some tutorials of EF are confusing and I had the same misunderstanding as you.

What you need to do:

-Add-Migration InitialModel

If you already have created your database tables and domain model, then:

-Add-Migration InitialModel -IgnoreChanges

From this point, your code will be in sync with database. Anytime you change the code, you can use Add-Migration to add the changes to your database.
