Use php artisan schema:dump to collapse hundreds of old migration files into a single SQL schema file while preserving new migrations.
As applications age, running hundreds of individual database migration files slows down test suites and deployment setups. Use schema:dump to collapse old migrations into a clean schema file.
# Dump schema and prune old migration files
php artisan schema:dump --prune
# Schema is saved to database/schema/mysql-schema.sql- Collapses old migration files into a single database/schema dump file
- Slashes migration execution time during automated test suite runs
- New migration files created after squashing run sequentially after the schema dump
