How to update a Postgres schema with flask-sqlalchemy?

Question

I'm running a simple Flask app with Heroku, and I can run the following command to create all the tables:

db.create_all()

However, I ship new stuff frequently and I often need to add new columns to existing tables. Is there an easy way to do this?

If I need to manually create a new column with Postgres, how would I access the repl for Heroku's Postgres database?

You should be using migrations.
