Is there a way to remove migration file name prefixes?

I like to keep my explorer sidebar as small as possible and ideally don't change its size.

But when I'm working with migrations I always have to make it larger to see which file does what. And to be honest it never made sense to me that migration files are prefixed with its creation timestamp.

Example

I just want them to look like create_likes_table.php instead of 2024_06_22_142730_create_likes_table.php. Is there a setting where I can disable that for next migrations?

The ordering of filenames in the migrations directory is ensured by prepending the creation timestamp; this is essential to ensure your migrations are run in the correct order.

Just expand your file explorer sidebar, or use fuzzy search to navigate to whatever migration file you want to edit.
