-# Alembic
-
-Alembic allows for our database migrations to be tracked in a version control system.
-
-To create a new migration run:
-
-```bash
-alembic revision --autogenerate -m 'Describe change here'
-```
-
-It's best practice to review the script post revision creation: `alembic/versions`
-
-To apply the migration:
-
-```bash
-alembic upgrade head
-```
-
-Now you can re-check using `alembic check`
-
-If we need to rollback use:
-
-```bash
-alembic downgrade -i
-```
