✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to sqitchcommands (that's the 3pm perl manual page, iykyk) — it's literally just the list of common sqitch commands. that's it. that's the page. a whole menu of goodies for you to scroll through and go "oh THAT'S what that one does" 💅

🌸 USAGE 🌸

here's how you actually summon sqitch, no cap:

sqitch [--etc-path | --help | --man | --version]
sqitch <command> [--chdir <path>] [--no-pager] [--quiet] [--verbose]
       [<command-options>] [<args>]

like, you either hit it with one of those lone flags (--etc-path, --help, --man, --version), OR you hand it a <command> and then pile on the global stuff — --chdir <path>, --no-pager, --quiet, --verbose — followed by that command's own <command-options> and <args>. go off 💖

👑 COMMON COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones you'll be living in, fr fr — the most commonly used sqitch commands:

  • add — add a new change to the plan ✨
  • bundle — bundle a Sqitch project for distribution 🎀
  • checkout — revert, checkout another VCS branch, and re-deploy changes 🦋
  • config — get and set local, user, or system options ⚙️
  • deploy — deploy changes to a database 🔥
  • engine — manage database engine configuration 💜
  • help — display help information about Sqitch commands 🫶
  • init — initialize a project 🌱
  • log — show change logs for a database 📜
  • plan — show the contents of a plan 🗺️
  • rebase — revert and redeploy database changes 🔁
  • revert — revert changes from a database ↩️
  • rework — duplicate a change in the plan and revise its scripts 🛠️
  • show — show information about changes and tags, or change script contents 👀

  • tag — add or list tags in the plan 🏷️
  • target — manage target database configuration 🎯
  • upgrade — upgrade the registry to the current version ⬆️
  • verify — verify changes to a database ✅

and if you wanna go deeper — like, main character deep — run sqitch help <command> or sqitch help <concept> to read allll about a specific command or concept. oh, and sqitch help --guide will hand you a list of conceptual guides, which is giving study session but make it cute 📚✨

okay that's the whole page, you're officially caught up bestie 🫶 this lil' gem came out of perl v5.40.1 on 2026-07-26, and yeah, it's sqitchcommands(3pm) — periodt 💅
