  down [N]     Apply all or N down migrations
  drop         Drop everyting inside database
  version      Print current migration version

So let's say you want to run the first two migrations

$ migrate -database postgres://localhost:5432/database up 2

If your migrations are hosted on github

$ migrate -source github://mattes:personal-access-token@mattes/migrate_test \
    -database postgres://localhost:5432/database down 2

The CLI will gracefully stop at a safe point when SIGINT (ctrl+c) is received. Send SIGKILL for immediate halt.
