sqitch...t-usage(3pm)

🌸 sqitch-target-usage — the vibe check 💅

okay bestie, listen up, this is the Sqitch target usage statement, and it's coming to you straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (section 3pm, if you're keeping score 🎀). It's short, it's sweet, it's basically the little cheat-sheet the sqitch target command hands you when you ask it what it even does. No cap. ✨

🦋 NAME

sqitch-target-usage — it's the Sqitch target usage statement, fr fr. That's the whole name section, she's brief and iconic like that. 👑

---

🎀 USAGE

okay so here's literally every way you're allowed to talk to this thing, copy-paste ready, don't @ me:

sqitch target
sqitch target [-v | --verbose]
sqitch target add <name> <uri> [target-options]
sqitch target alter <name> [target-options]
sqitch target remove <name>
sqitch target rename <old> <new>
sqitch target show <name>

so like: run it plain, run it verbose, add a target, alter one, remove one, rename one from <old> to <new>, or show one. that's the whole menu bestie, go off. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every single flag, no gatekeeping, all of them, in order:

• -v, --verbose — be verbose, basically turn the yapping up 📢 but heads up, it must be placed before an action, so put it first, not wherever your heart desires. it's giving ✨order matters✨
• --uri <uri> — the database URI 🗄️
• --registry <registry> — the registry schema or database
• --client <path> — path to the engine command-line client 🛠️
• -f --plan-file <file> — path to the deployment plan file 📜
• --top-dir <dir> — path to the directory with the plan and scripts 📁
• --extension <ext> — the change script file name extension
• --dir <name>=<path> — path to a named directory
• -s --set <key=value> — set a database client variable 🔧

lowkey the most important thing here: -v, --verbose goes before the action. if you put it after, the vibe check fails and it just... won't be verbose. you've been warned bestie 😭
