Answer 1

3 possibilities:

1. Create a new migration

2. Rollback the last migration operation and rerun it :

    php artisan migrate:rollback php artisan migrate 

3. Rollback all migrations and run them all again

    php artisan migrate:refresh 

More info here: http://laravel.com/docs/migrations

Answer 2

You have to create another migration, or you can refresh your previous migrations

php artisan migrate:refresh

Answer 3

If you just added more records in a table that already exists using eg phpmyadmin, there is no need to run again php artisan migrate , because no extra migration is created. That's why you get the "Nothing to migrate" message.

But, if you want for example to add a new column or delete an existing one, the ideal way to do it is by creating a new migration and name it something like add_columnname_on_users_table , edit properly the new migration file, then run php artisan migrate .
