What does php flarum migrate command do?

sakibarifin

What does it do? I recently transferred a forum to a subdomain from sakibarifin.com/ict/ to ict.sakibarifin.com. I did that by changing the config. Everything seems to work smoothly. Do I need to run php flarum migrate?

No, the command is for running database migrations. It's needed when you upgrade Flarum or an extension to a new version.

It does 3 things actually:

Run database migrations that have not been applied yet
If necessary, updates the Flarum version in the database so that the "upgrade" screen does not appear after a Flarum upgrade
Copies assets to the assets folder, including core fonts and extensions assets

It doesn't hurt to run the command more often, but it's not necessary after a URL change.

However php flarum cache:clear would be a good idea after a URL change.

clarkwinkelmann Thank you very much. I will run both commands now.
