Laravel 5 - skip migrations

Question

I have migrated an existing Laravel 5 application and database. Only no migrations table was there yet, so I created this with the following command:

php artisan         


        

Answer 1

Another way is just create a folder under database/migrations to put you want skip migrations, this method works for both files that have been migrated or not yet migrated.

# Execute commands in laravel project root folder
mkdir database/migrations/ignored
mv database/migrations/2018_08_14_000000_should_ignore_migration.php \
   database/migrations/ignored/

# Check migration has been skipped
php artisan migrate:status

2018-09-25 update:

This Artisan CLI extension command is support single command to migrate specific files on Laravel 5.4 or later:

# Install extension
composer require caloskao/migrate-specific

# Migrate
php artisan migrate:specific /path/to/migration_file.php

Answer 2

Once you have the migration table created, insert these records:

insert into migrations(migration, batch) values('2015_12_08_134409_create_tables_script',1);
insert into migrations(migration, batch) values('2015_12_08_134410_create_foreign',1);
insert into migrations(migration, batch) values('2015_12_08_134411_create_index',1);

So artisan will understand those migrations as 'executed'
