PocketBase Migrations

Guide for creating PocketBase migrations using the Go-based system (0.20+).

Core Workflow

Critical Migration Pattern

ALWAYS follow this workflow:

1. Write ONE migration at a time
2. Execute immediately with mise run migrate
3. Verify it worked with mise run show-collections
4. Only then write the next migration
5. Run mise run backup before destructive changes

Never write multiple migrations without running them between each one.
