+2. `git pull` or whatever that really update the files.
+3. Modify the file named `.sequelizerc`, change the value of the variable `url` with your db connection string.
+ For example: `postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/hackmd`.
+4. Run `node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate`, this step will migrate your db with the latest schema.
+ You can also revert the migration with `node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate:undo` (do this with caution).
