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)
  -verbose     Print verbose logging
  -version     Print version
  -help        Print usage

Commands:
  goto V       Migrate to version V

  down [N]     Apply all or N down migrations
  drop         Drop everyting inside database
  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.
