Add this to .git/hooks/post-checkout and it will manage your migrations as you use git normally

Awesome!

Thanks!

This grew out of a gist, it now lives at brysgo/git-rails

Small note for readers:

After copying to .git/hooks/post-checkout, run
chmod u+x .git/hooks/post-checkout
to make it executable
