I'm having trouble with Task 1 of Updating the Model part of the Ruby on Rails 5 Basics course: Question: Generate a migration to add an attribute to the Pet model. On the command line, specify an attribute name of breed, with a type of string.

bin/rails generate migration AddBreedToPets breed: string
