Gormigrate is a minimalistic database schema migration helper library for the Gorm ORM in Go. It adds schema versioning and migration rollback support on top of Gorm's built-in migration functions.

Use cases

• run database schema migrations in a Go app using Gorm
• add versioned migrations with rollback support to Gorm projects
• migrate MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or SQL Server schemas from Go code
• track which schema migrations have been applied to a database
• roll back a bad schema change in a Gorm application

When to choose

• you already use Gorm and need proper schema versioning and rollbacks
• you want a lightweight, code-first migration tool without external CLI dependencies
• your app needs to run migrations programmatically at startup

When to avoid

• you don't use Gorm as your ORM
• you need standalone SQL-file-based migrations managed outside Go code
• you need advanced features like down-migrations across many versions or migration generation tooling
