Once a Pull Request has received two approvals it can be merged in by a core developer.

Creating a new migration file

make new_migration NAME=add_columnA_to_table1
- This will create a new timestamped migration file in db/migrations
Write the migration code in the created file, under the respective goose pragma
- Goose automatically runs each migration in a transaction; don't add BEGIN and COMMIT statements.
Core migrations should be committed in their goose fixed form. To do this, run make version_migrations which converts timestamped migrations to migrations versioned by an incremented integer.
