Stored procedures in EF 6.1.3

I'm new to Entity Framework and have ran into a problem. I have created a stored procedure in the DB (in SMMS) and triggering from .NET works fine.

However I would like EF to feed the SP to the database if the DB is wiped (like the seed method fills in data). Also I would like to have my SP in vertion control with the rest of my codebase. So, how do I add the SP to my project in a way that it will be created with the DB, I guess its like a migration, but with no direct connection to a model class.

Is it possible to generate a "empty" migration and then modify it to my needs? with up and down method that creates and removes the SP?

Yes it is possible to generate an empty migration and then modify it to your needs. In package manager Add-Migration "AddMyStoredProcedure"

Then in your Up method:

Sql(@"EXECUTE('CREATE PROCEDURE MyStoredProcedure...etc ");

And in your Down method:

Sql(@"EXECUTE('DROP PROCEDURE MyStoredProcedure')");

I tend to use the Sql method, but there are also CreateStoredProcedure and DropStoredProcedure methods in the DbMigration class that you may prefer
