I don't understand why you have made a file in bin/rails. There is no need to do that. You must first generate the migration using the command rails generate migration ... from the command line. That will generate the migration file in db/migrate, then you have a look there to make sure it is correct and then run rake db:migrate to apply the migration. I suspect you are just starting with rails, in which case I recommend working right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use online). That will show you the basics of rails, including how to use migrations.
