What is the migration file? What is the ModelSnapshot file? Its Use?

Migration is a way to keep the database schema in sync with the EF Core model by preserving data.

A Model Snapshot is the current state of the model stored in a class file. The file is added to the Migrations folder when the first migration is created, and updated with each subsequent migration. It enables the migrations framework to calculate the changes required to bring the database up to date with the model.
