title: How to create a migration in Laravel 5 that only adds a column to an existing table
body: <p>I'm trying to add a number of new column to the generic 'users' table that comes with the Laravel 5 installation.</p>
  
  <p>However I create a new migration that does a Schema::create as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table)
  {
      $table-&gt;increments('id');
      $table-&gt;string('username');
      $table-&gt;string('email')-&gt;unique();
      $table-&gt;string('password', 60);
      $table-&gt;string('avatar');
      $table-&gt;string('first_name');
      $table-&gt;string('last_name');
      $table-&gt;string('nickname');
      $table-&gt;rememberToken();
      $table-&gt;timestamps();
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the above I added the <code>avatar</code>, <code>first_name</code>, <code>last_name</code> and <code>nickname</code> columns.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that when I run <code>php artisan migrate</code> it's telling me <code>Nothing to migrate.</code></p>
  
  <p>How do I create an "update" migration?</p>
