# prisma migrate reset
Resets your database and re-applies all migrations.
## Command
```bash
prisma migrate reset [options]
```
## What It Does
1. **Drops** the database (if possible) or deletes all data/tables
2. **Re-creates** the database
3. **Applies** all migrations from `prisma/migrations/`
4. **Runs** the seed script (if configured)
**Warning: All data will be lost.**
## Options
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--force` / `-f` | Skip confirmation prompt |
| `--schema` | Path to schema file |
| `--config` | Custom path to your Prisma config file |
## Examples
### Basic reset
```bash
prisma migrate reset
```
Prompts for confirmation in interactive terminals.
### Force reset (CI/Automation)
```bash
prisma migrate reset --force
```
### With custom schema
```bash
prisma migrate reset --schema=./custom/schema.prisma
```
## When to Use
- **Development**: When you want a fresh start
- **Testing**: Resetting test database before suites
- **Drift Recovery**: When the database is out of sync and you can't migrate
## Behavior in v7
- In v6, `migrate reset` automatically ran `prisma generate`.
- In v7, you may need to run `prisma generate` separately if you want to update the client, though `reset` focuses on the database state.
- Seed script IS run by default after reset.
## Configuration
Configure seed script in `prisma.config.ts` to run it automatically after reset:
```typescript
export default defineConfig({
migrations: {
seed: 'tsx prisma/seed.ts',
},
})
```
