DBV-Git Control CLI

A Git-like version control system for your database schema. Track changes, view history, and compare versions of your database directly from the terminal.

🚀 Installation

Install globally via NPM:

npm install -g dbv-git-control

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Initialize DBV in your project

Go to your project's root directory and run:

dbv init

You will be prompted for:

• Project Name: Internal name for your project
• Target DB URL: Your PostgreSQL connection string (e.g., postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/my_db)
• Remote Server URL: The address of your DB-Git backend (Default: http://localhost:3000)

2. Track Changes (Commit)

After modifying your database schema (adding tables, changing columns, etc.), run:

dbv commit -m "Added users table"

3. View History

See all previous schema versions:

dbv log

4. Compare Versions (Diff)

See what has changed between your current database and the remote head:

dbv diff

Compare two specific versions:

dbv diff <commit_id_1> <commit_id_2>

📡 Remote Management

Check or update your remote server settings:

# Show current remote info
dbv remote

# Set a new remote URL
dbv remote --set-url http://api.my-server.com

🔄 Updates

The CLI automatically checks for updates. When a new version is released, you can update using:

npm install -g dbv-git-control
