HOW TO USE IT

When local migrations need to match production or a remote branch, run `netlify db migrations pull`; it replaces the local migrations directory after confirmation unless `--force` is used.

WHY THIS HELPS

Replace local database migrations with migrations from production or a specified branch.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: 24.11.0
• --branch [branch] (-b): Pull from the named branch; defaults to production. With no value, uses the local Git branch.
• --force: Skip the confirmation prompt before overwriting local migration files.
• --json: Output the result as JSON.
• Prerequisite: The project must be linked with `netlify link`.
• Prerequisite: Log in with `netlify login`.
• The command overwrites the local migrations directory.
• The default production pull prompts for confirmation.
