Execute a migration command from the Rails console

WARNING Use common sense with this protip! Bypassing migrations to update your database could be a very bad idea in certain situations. You have been warned.

Executing migration commands willy nilly from the console is super freakin' easy!

> ActiveRecord::Migration.add_column :users,
                                     :cute,
                                     :boolean,
                                     default: false

Check out the ActiveRecord::Migration documentation to see all the available commands.
