# migrate

`migrate` is a package for SQL datbase migrations in the spirit of dbstore(rsc.io/dbstore) it is intended to keep its footprint small, requiring only an additional table in the database there is no rollback support as you should only ever roll forward. Sqlite3 support is provided, support for other datbases can be added by implementing the `Dialect` interface

go get github.com/jchenry/migrate
