Important notes

  1. Make sure you have backups of your local database and any other important data.
  2. Run this on a test branch and test thoroughly.
  3. spin init will remove configurations and replace them with Spin Pro configurations.
  4. We will also attempt to automatically update your .env. and .env.example files.
  5. Projects with dumped migration schemas (with schema:dump) should skip Laravel Auto-migrations and will need to install the SQL client manually.
