Uhhh shouldn’t that be the other way around? You should write the migrations and commit them to Git THEN apply them to the database after review?

If you describe the workflow for the production DB, then yes, that's exacly how it works.

But we also need a way to fiddle with the dev environment, while keeping track of everything that happened during development phase and making sure that it can be applied to the production DB in a single command with little room for errors.

Having a git repo in sync with the DB and a full history of changes in commit log helps a lot.
