Add-Migration or dotnet ef migrations add

Question

From an architectural perspective:

• How are these commands the same or different?
• Which should be used when?
• Which is better?

Answer 1

Both the commands are used to add migrations and internally both works same and use EF Core Tools.

The only difference is that one is for PowerShell/Package Manager Console and another one is for Console, So you can run any of these two according to your requirement.

PowerShell

Add-Migration <MigrationName>

Console

dotnet ef migrations add <MigrationName>
