Run the next pending database migration.
Alias: wheels db up

None.
This will execute the next migration in the sequence and update the database schema version.
When you want to apply database changes one at a time rather than all at once:
Apply migrations one at a time for better control:
Migrations are executed in chronological order based on their timestamps
Each migration is tracked in the database to prevent duplicate execution
If already at latest version, displays: "We're all up to date already!"
If no more versions available, displays: "No more versions to go to?"
- Rollback the last migration
- Run all pending migrations
- View migration status
- Reset all migrations
