# Database Migrations
After making any changes in the `server/src/infra/database/entities`, a database migration need to run in order to register the changes in the database. Follow the steps below to create a new migration.
1. Run the command
```bash
npm run typeorm:migrations:generate ./src/infra/<migration-name>
```
2. Check if the migration file makes sense.
3. Move the migration file to folder `./src/infra/database/migrations` in your code editor.
The server will automatically detect `*.ts` file changes and restart. Part of the server start-up process includes running any new migrations, so it will be applied immediately.
