Databases

Database drivers are responsible for applying migrations to databases. Implementing a new database driver is easy. Just implement database/driver interface

Migration Sources

Source Drivers read migrations from various locations. Implementing a new source driver is easy. Just implement the source/driver interface.

Filesystem - read from fileystem (always included)
Go-Bindata - read from embedded binary data (jteeuwen/go-bindata)
Github - read from remote Github repositories
AWS S3 - read from Amazon Web Services S3
Google Cloud Storage - read from Google Cloud Platform Storage

Development, Testing and Contributing

Make sure you have a running Docker daemon (Install for MacOS)
Fork this repo and git clone somewhere to $GOPATH/src/github.com/%you%/migrate
make rewrite-import-paths to update imports to your local fork
Confirm tests are working: make test-short
Write awesome code ...
make test to run all tests against all database versions
make restore-import-paths to restore import paths
Push code and open Pull Request

Some more notes:

You can specify which database/ source tests to run:
make test-short SOURCE='file go-bindata' DATABASE='postgres cassandra'
After make test, run make html-coverage which opens a shiny test coverage overview.
Missing imports? make deps
make build-cli builds the CLI in directory cli/build/.
make list-external-deps lists all external dependencies for each package
make docs && make open-docs opens godoc in your browser, make kill-docs kills the godoc server.
Repeatedly call make docs to refresh the server.
