If you look in your migrations table  then you   ll see each migration has a batch number  So when you roll back  it rolls back each migration that was part of the last batch  If you only want to roll back the very last migration  then just increment the batch number by one  Then next time you run the rollback command  it   ll only roll back that one migration as it   s in a    batch    of its own  Alternatively  from Laravel 5 3 onwards  you can just run  php artisan migrate rollback --step 1  That will rollback the last migration  no matter what its batch number is

better to used refresh migrate      You may rollback  amp  re-migrate a limited number of migrations by   providing the step option to the refresh command  For example  the   following command will rollback  amp  re-migrate the last two migrations    php artisan migrate refresh --step 2   otherwise used rollback migrate     You may rollback a limited number of migrations by providing the step   option to the  rollback command  For example  the following command   will rollback the last three migrations    php artisan migrate rollback --step 3   for more detail about migration see

Another alternative to those mentioned if you need to do this a bunch of times with the same migration s   Personally I think this adds a lot of flexibility to your migrations   Add database migrations to your autoload object in your composer json like this    autoload              psr-4                  App      app                       classmap                  database seeds                database factories                database support                database migrations     add this line                    Then add namespace Database Migrations  to all of your migration files   Then run   composer dump-autoload to refresh your composer lock file   Then  assuming your class name for the migration is AlterTableWebDirectories  you can create a command like this     php artisan make command DropAlterTableWebDirectories   And write this logic in your handle   method   public function handle       new AlterTableWebDirectories - gt down       DB  raw  delete from migrations where migration like   alter table web directories          This will do exactly what you want  If you want to decrement the migration count instead of deleting it  you can probably figure out how to change the DB raw command   This command could be extended to allow you to dynamically choose which migration you re dropping it by passing an argument into the command   Then when you re reading to migrate that file again  you can just run php artisan migrate and it will only migrate that one   This process allows you to make specific changes to migrations without having to do a full refresh and seed each time   Personally I need to do that a lot because my seeds are rather large

Best way is to create a new migration and make required changes in that    Worst case workaround  if you have access to DB plus you are okay with a RESET of that table s data     Go to DB and delete rename the migration entry for your-specific-migration Drop the table created by your-specific-migration Run php artisan migrate --path  database migrations your-specific-migration php   This will force laravel to run that specific migration as no entry about it exists in Laravel s migration history   UPDATE  The Laravel way  Thanks   thiago-valente   Run    php artisan migrate rollback --path  database migrations your-specific-migration php   and then   php artisan migrate  This will re-run that particular migration

If you can t do what is told by  Martin Bean  then you can try another trick    Create a new migration and on that file in up   method insert what s in down   method of the migration you want to rollback and in down   method insert what s in up   method   e g if your original migration is like this  public function up         Schema  create  users   function Blueprint  table                 table- gt increments  id  - gt unsigned             table- gt string  name              public function down         Schema  drop  users        then in new migration file do this  public function up         Schema  drop  users      public function down         Schema  create  users   function Blueprint  table                 table- gt increments  id  - gt unsigned             table- gt string  name                and then run the migrate  it will delete the table  and if you again want that back just rollback it

If you want to rollback last migration   php artisan migrate rollback   If you want to rollback specific migration then go to migration table and set highest value of that record in batch  Then   php artisan migrate rollback   Currently i m working on laravel 5 8 if not working any other version of laravel please inform to me

It s quite easy to roll back just a specific migration  Since the command php artisan migrate rollback  undo the last database migration  and the order of the migrations execution is stored in the batch field in the migrations table  You can edit the batch value of the migration that you want to rollback and set it as the higher  Then you can rollback that migration with a simple  php artisan migrate rollback  After editing the same migration you can execute it again with a simple php artisan migrate  NOTICE  if two or more migrations have the same higher value  they will be all rolled back at the same time

It might be a little late to answer this question but here s a very good  clean and efficient way to do it I feel  I ll try to be as thorough as possible   Before creating your migrations create different directories like so       database                  migrations                           batch 1             batch 2             batch 3   Then  when creating your migrations run the following command  using your tables as an example         php artisan make migration alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 1   or       php artisan make migration alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 2   or       php artisan make migration alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 3   The commands above will make the migration file within the given directory path  Then you can simply run the following command to migrate your files via their assigned directories       php artisan migrate alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 1    Note  You can change batch 1 to batch 2 or batch 3 or whatever folder name you re storing the migration files in  As long as it remains within the database migrations directory or some specified directory   Next if you need to rollback your specific migrations you can rollback by batch as shown below       php artisan migrate rollback --step 1                     or try php artisan migrate rollback alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 1   or      php artisan migrate rollback --step 2                     or try php artisan migrate rollback alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 2   or          php artisan migrate rollback --step 3                     or try php artisan migrate rollback alter table web directories --path database migrations batch 3   Using these techniques will allow you more flexibility and control over your database s  and any modifications made to your schema
