1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mydb-cli.git
cd mydb-cli

2. Create and activate a virtual environment (recommended):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the package in development mode:

pip install -e .

Note: requirements.txt is a frozen list of dependencies generated from setup.py and can be used for specific deployment scenarios if needed, but direct installation via setup.py (using pip install -e .) is the primary method for setting up the development environment.

1. Initialize your database configuration:

mydb-cli status

This will create a default configuration file at .mydb/config.json.

2. Update the configuration file with your MySQL credentials:

{
 "connection": {
 "user": "your_username",
 "password": "your_password",
 "host": "localhost",
 "port": 3306,
 "database": "your_database",
 "auth_plugin": "mysql_native_password"
 }
}

Create a new branch:

mydb-cli create-branch --branch dev

List all branches:

mydb-cli list-branches

Switch to a different branch:

mydb-cli switch-branch --branch dev

Delete a branch:

mydb-cli delete-branch --branch old_feature

Merge branches:

mydb-cli merge-branch --source feature --target main

Create a new table:

mydb-cli create-table --name users
# Follow the interactive prompts to define columns

List all tables:

mydb-cli list-tables

Describe table structure:

mydb-cli describe-table --name users

Drop a table:

mydb-cli drop-table --name old_table

Create a new migration:

mydb-cli create-migration --name add_users_table --description "Create users table with basic fields"

Apply migrations:

mydb-cli migrate-up # Apply next pending migration
mydb-cli apply-migration --number 1 # Apply specific migration

Rollback migrations:

mydb-cli migrate-down # Rollback last applied migration

Check migration status:

mydb-cli migration-status

Launch the MyDB Studio interface:

mydb-cli studio
