latest_migration is a Ruby on Rails gem that allows you to open your latest migration file in text editor. It saves the time of selecting, copying and opening the file in your editor.

• Add latest_migration to your Gemfile:

gem 'latest_migration', group: :development

• Install with: bundle install

When installed, you have available two new Rake tasks:

rake latest_migration:open
rake latest_migration:path

The first one opens the latest migration in the text editor.

By default it uses subl command to open the file. You can override this with initializer:

# config/initializers/latest_migration.rb
LatestMigration::Base.editor = :mine

You can use pass any command name you wish (like :mine, :nano etc.).

The second command just prints the filename of latest migration to standard output, like:

/Users/Arek/Workspace/myapp/db/migrate/20151101184727_create_tags.rb
