Entity framework automation migration

I used to use the command to command line in Entity Framework, which automatically creates models and contexts from the database, I can't find it, could anyone remember remember to link to it?

You can use the Scaffold-DbContext command.

Here is a nice tutorial about creating your model from existing DB in net core.

A big change though, the old-style EDMX way doesn't exist anymore. As the tutorial says in the end:

Note: Once you have created the model, you must use the Migration commands whenever you change the model to keep the database up to date with the model.

you mean scaffolding? see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/ef/core/managing-schemas/scaffolding

with .NET cli:

dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "Data Source=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=Chinook" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
