# Migrations
You have your schema in place, and you want to apply your changes to the database. TurboStarter provides you a convenient way to do so with pre-configured CLI commands.
## Generating migration
To generate a migration, from the schema you need to run the following command:
```bash
pnpm with-env turbo db:generate
```
This will create a new `.sql` file in the `migrations` directory.

Drizzle will also generate a `.json` representation of the migration in the `meta` directory, but it's for its internal purposes and you shouldn't need to touch it.
</Callout>
## Applying migrations
To apply the migrations to the database, you need to run the following command:
```bash
pnpm with-env pnpm --filter @turbostarter/db db:migrate
```
This will apply all the migrations that have not been applied yet. If any conflicts arise, you can resolve them by modifying the generated migration file.
## Pushing changes
To push changes directly to the database, you can use the following command:
```bash
pnpm with-env pnpm --filter @turbostarter/db db:push
```
This lets you push your schema changes directly to the database and omit managing SQL migration files.
<Callout type="warn" title="Use with caution!">
Pushing changes directly to the database (without using migrations) could be risky. Please be careful when using it; we recommend it only for local development and local databases.
[Read more about it in the Drizzle docs](https://orm.drizzle.team/kit-docs/overview#prototyping-with-db-push).
