Documentation

Hey. I'm looking for a lightweight database migration tool and found this project through the Slick documentation. It seems to be up-to-date and the example looks intriguing. I was wondering if it is a good fit for my project and started reading the source code. That helped my understanding a bit, but the "big picture" is still quite blurry.
I'd like to read some high-level documentation, like
- How does it work
- How does it compare to other tools
- What can it do, what not
A few paragraphs in the README would be super-helpful.
PS: If you don't mind, I'll ask more specific questions here. I stumbled upon a Gitter channel, but it seems to be dead.
Thank you very much for this elaborate response! I see now that I misunderstood the goal of this project. I was wondering myself how to deal with old table columns and so on.
I will now probably use Flyway directly and keep the migrations in sync with Slick table definitions manually. Forklift seems to avoid this with code generation, but I have not actually used it, too.
P.S.: I found this somehow: https://gitter.im/nafg/slick-migration-api/
Should this be closed?
