CodePudding user response：

your migration will look something like this

class AddLastNameToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :users, :last_name, :string
    
  end
end

once it does, run the following commands in your terminal:

rails db:drop
rails db:create
rails db:migrate

this will drop your current db schema, create a new one, and run any migrations you have. there are short hand versions to accomplish the same thing, but better to understand the basics first
