## What it is
A database migration tool written in Go, usable both as a CLI and as an importable library. This repository is deprecated and development has moved to golang-migrate/migrate.

## Use cases
- run database schema migrations from the command line
- manage versioned SQL migrations for postgres
- embed database migrations in a Go application
- migrate schemas across mysql, sqlite, mongodb, and cassandra
- apply and roll back database schema changes

## When to choose
- you need a Go-based migration tool and are intentionally using the legacy repo
- you are studying the original implementation

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use golang-migrate/migrate instead
- you need bug fixes or new database driver support
- you want an actively maintained tool
