Description
Even if there is no formal command or other provision to support consolidation of migration files, it would still be useful to document a working procedure to achieve this. Migration consolidation is the normal process of reducing the number of migration files down to zero, or near-zero periodically, to eliminate old, obsolete migrations and speed up database seeding and migrations.
