🦋 NAME 🦋

App::Sqitch::Command::engine — okay so basically: add, modify, or list Sqitch database engines. That's the whole assignment. No notes. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The way you actually summon this thing:

my $cmd = App::Sqitch::Command::engine->new(%params);
$cmd->execute;

Two lines. Object goes in, execute goes brrr. Periodt. 🎀

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So what does it even do? It manages Sqitch database engines, and here's the tea — those engines are stored in the local configuration file. That's it, that's the plot. Local config file holds your engines, this command class is the one holding the aux cord. 🎶
