Migrating from EF 6.1.2 to EF Core (2.1). How to deal with the Migrations?
ef-migrations entity-framework-6 entity-framework-core
Question
As performance of our application is lack lustre we may try to migrate it from using Entity Framework 6.1.2 to Entity Framework Core 2.1. I cannot find a clear overview what pitfalls there will be. I do not expect too much problems arising from the need to rewrite some queries, but I am especially wondering what needs to be done about our 30+ migrations that we have for the database.
Are there examples on how to migrate Migrations from EF 6 to EF-core 2.1?

If you have EF 6 as Database-First and EF Core is Code-First. You can use reverse POCO generator. Then run Add-Migration to generate migration. Now you have to take care, You need to remove the changes from Up method. Now run Update-Database. From now onwards follow Code-first approach. you make changes in model, generate migration and run Update-Database.
Welcome yo EF Core.
