Prisma is a powerful ORM for Node.js and TypeScript, allowing developers to work with databases in a type-safe manner. Here are the top 10 Prisma commands that are commonly used:
1. Initialize a Prisma Project
npx prisma init
This command initializes a new Prisma project by creating a prisma directory with a schema.prisma file.

3. Migrate Your Database
npx prisma migrate dev --name <migration_name>
Creates a new migration and applies it to the database. The --name flag specifies the name of the migration.
4. Apply Migrations

6. Push Schema to Database
npx prisma db push
Pushes the state of your schema.prisma file to the database without generating a migration.
7. Seed Your Database
npx prisma db seed
Runs the seed script specified in your prisma directory to populate your database with initial data.
8. Reset Your Database
