=== Add Column to DB === - Have ''artisan'' create php template. * Artisan is a php script itself so you must run this from the directory where ''artisan'' lives (the root directory for the project.) * Artisan knows how to fill out the template based on the name you give it. Example command: ''php artisan make:migration add_new_fields_to_users_table'' will tell Artisan to base the template off the ''users'' table - in ''database/migrations'' you'll find the file you created. Edit the template using other migrations as a model for what you want - to run the migration: ''php artisan migrate'' [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32624530/how-to-add-new-column-in-laravels-default-users-table/32625107|Reference]]
