Where is the documentation of Code First Migrations?
I find multiple questions asking about Code First Migrations but I really can't find documentation of it. The
Entity Framework Code First Migrations is where I would expect to see a description of migrations but that is a walkthrough and walkthroughs seldom explain much; that one certainly
does not.
Entity Framework Code First Migrations is another walkthrough; it has a bit more of an explanation but not much.
I don't find very much that explains what migrations actually are; what they actually do. As best as I determine, the main thing that migrations do is to generate code. Databases are generated when needed by the generated code. The name "Add-Migration"
seems misleading to me. Other comments say that migrations migrate data to the new table and that they generate scripts to apply schema changes but it is not very clear what they do.
I am not asking for clarification of anything except where the documentation is at.
