[Suggestion] Rename Migrate Commands

[johannesschobel]

Dear Prisma Team,

recently I came up with the suggestion to rename the Lift commands. In this context I propose the following changes:

prisma migrate save    --> prisma migrate commit
prisma migrate up      --> prisma migrate push
prisma migrate down    --> prisma migrate revert

This would make the commands more "git like" and (maybe) more memorable.

This would also reflect the fact, that a save is only a local change (same as with git commit) and in order to make this "commit" available, you need to push it to the database.

The downside with this is, that - if you're a heavy git cli user - you may get confused with the similar commands 😕

Maybe it is also possible to have some kind of "aliases" for these commands? I am currently using custom npm commands in my package.json to alias those commands. For example, I'm using db:commit instead of prisma2 lift save and db:push for prisma2 lift up. Its shorter as well 😃

What are your opinions on this?
All the best

(I moved this into prisma/lift as it concerns functionality of that project)

Thanks for the suggestions here @johannesschobel, I am currently looking deep into what Lift does and why, and the names of the commands came up a few times during that already. But I also know there is quite a bit of history, so I will keep on gathering information and then report back.

Thanks. We are reviewing all the commands for migrate, currently.
