You might also be ineterested in the Laravel Generators package.

To use it with Laravel 5, you'll need to require "way/generators": "~3.0"

It gives you the following additional commands:

generate:controller          Generate a controllergenerate:migration           Generate a new migrationgenerate:model               Generate a modelgenerate:pivot               Generate a pivot tablegenerate:publish-templates   Copy generator templates for user modificationgenerate:resource            Generate a new resourcegenerate:scaffold            Scaffold a new resource (with boilerplate)generate:seed                Generate a database table seedergenerate:view                Generate a view

yes, in Laravel 5, this is moved to

php artisan make:migration (followed by the usual parameters you would have used before)

The artisan command for creating migrations in Laravel 5 is:

php artisan make:migration create_my_table --create="my_table"

For a list of all available arguments you could prefix the artisan command with "help":

php artisan help make:migration
