Usage: migrate OPTIONS COMMAND [arg...]
       migrate [ -version | -help ]

Options:
  -source          Location of the migrations (driver://url)
  -path            Shorthand for -source=file://path 
  -database        Run migrations against this database (driver://url)
  -prefetch N      Number of migrations to load in advance before executing (default 10)
  -lock-timeout N  Allow N seconds to acquire database lock (default 15)
  -verbose         Print verbose logging

  -help            Print usage

Commands:
  create [-ext E] [-dir D] NAME
               Create a set of timestamped up/down migrations titled NAME, in directory D with extension E
  goto V       Migrate to version V
  up [N]       Apply all or N up migrations
  down [N]     Apply all or N down migrations
  drop         Drop everyting inside database
  force V      Set version V but don't run migration (ignores dirty state)
  version      Print current migration version

So let's say you want to run the first two migrations

$ migrate -database postgres://localhost:5432/database up 2

If your migrations are hosted on github

$ migrate -source github://mattes:personal-access-token@mattes/migrate_test \
    -database postgres://localhost:5432/database down 2

The CLI will gracefully stop at a safe point when SIGINT (ctrl+c) is received. Send SIGKILL for immediate halt.
