+The migrations in `alembic_migrations/versions` contain the changes needed to migrate
+between Mistral database revisions. A migration occurs by executing a script that
+details the changes needed to upgrade the database. The migration scripts
+are ordered so that multiple scripts can run sequentially. The scripts are executed by
+Mistral's migration wrapper which uses the Alembic library to manage the migration. Mistral
+supports migration from Kilo or later.
+
+You can upgrade to the latest database version via:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf upgrade head
+```
+
+You can populate the database with standard actions and workflows:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf populate
+```
+
+To check the current database version:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf current
+```
+
+To create a script to run the migration offline:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf upgrade head --sql
+```
+
+To run the offline migration between specific migration versions:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf upgrade <start version>:<end version> --sql
+```
+
+Upgrade the database incrementally:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf upgrade --delta <# of revs>
+```
+
+Or, upgrade the database to one newer revision:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf upgrade +1
+```
+
+Create new revision:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf revision -m "description of revision" --autogenerate
+```
+
+Create a blank file:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf revision -m "description of revision"
+```
+
+This command does not perform any migrations, it only sets the revision.
+Revision may be any existing revision. Use this command carefully.
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf stamp <revision>
+```
+
+To verify that the timeline does branch, you can run this command:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf check_migration
+```
+
+If the migration path has branch, you can find the branch point via:
+```
+mistral-db-manage --config-file /path/to/mistral.conf history
