laravel php artisan migrate does not create a new table

I have created a user migration and then created the table. Here is the command:

php artisan migration:make create_users_table --table=users --create

And then I updated the schema for my desired fields, and ran this command:

php artisan migration

And it works and created the table with all of its field.

Then I again typed the following command to create a new table's schema for comments table"

php artisan migration:make create_comments_table --table=comments --create

And it worked.

And I updated the actual schema of the table, but then when I commanded php artisan migrate it throws an error: 

Base table or view already exists. table 'users' ....

Why? because I'm creating the comments table, what it has to do with users table.

To avoid problems, try creating the tables like these

php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --table=users --create=users

php artisan migrate:make create_comments_table --table=comments --create=comments

taking note of the arguments in --create for each cli command.

php artisan migrate:make create_comments_table --table=comments --create

The --table and --create options may also be used to indicate the name of the table, and whether the migration will be creating a new table
