sqitch...y-usage(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

sqitch-deploy-usage — the Sqitch deploy usage statement, bestie. It's the cheat sheet for sqitch deploy, and you're gonna eat it up. 🌸

Heads up: this page lives in the manual as sqitch...y-usage(3pm) (Perl's User Contributed Perl Documentation, she's a little shy with her full name in the header, no cap). Same page, same vibes. ✨

🎀 USAGE 🎀

Okay so here's the whole move, fr fr:

sqitch deploy [options] [<database>]

That's it. Options in the middle, the database off the end if you feel like naming her. 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Every single one of these, no skipping, we don't do that here 🫶

• -t, --target <target> — the database you wanna connect to. Who's she? That one. 👑
• --to-change <change> — deploy up to this change specifically. Like, stop right there.
• --mode <mode> — the failure reversion mode. Yes it matters, yes you should know it, look it up in the big page. 🔥
• -s, --set <key=value> — set a database client variable. Cute little key-value moment.
• --verify — run verify scripts after each change. Extra credit, but the good kind. ⭐
• --no-verify — do not run verify scripts. Skipping the quiz today 🙈
• --log-only — log changes without actually running them. All talk, no deploy. 💀
• --lock-timeout <timeout> — how many seconds to wait for the target lock. Patience is a virtue, but she has a limit. ⏳
• --registry <registry> — the registry schema or database. Where the receipts live.
• --db-client <path> — path to the engine's command-line client. Point her at it. 🎯
• -d, --db-name <name> — the database name. Obviously. 🌈
• -u, --db-user <user> — the database user name. Say hi, introduce yourself.
• -h, --db-host <host> — the database server host name. Where she's at. 📍
• -p, --db-port <port> — the database server port number. The door number. 🚪
• -f, --plan-file <file> — path to a deployment plan file. Your little roadmap. 🗺️

That's the whole page, bestie. Every flag, every argument, all of it, untouched. iykyk. 💜

Sign-off time: this page is perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-07-26, and it goes by sqitch...y-usage(3pm) in polite society. Slay, go deploy something. 🦋
