CLI reference

The current executable command paths are:

gelite schema plan <schema.geli>
gelite schema apply <schema.geli> --database <app.db>
gelite repl --schema <schema.geli> [--debug] [QUERY]...
gelite repl --database <app.db> [--debug] [QUERY]...

When running from this repository, prefix each command with cargo run -p gelite-cli --.

Schema modes

schema plan prints initial SQLite DDL and metadata bind values without opening a database. schema apply creates the initial schema in a new database.

REPL modes

repl --schema compiles queries without executing them. repl --database loads the schema catalog from the database and executes supported data queries.

With no query argument, either mode starts an interactive REPL. Enter each statement without a semicolon. Regular Enter continues while braces are unbalanced; Alt+Enter inserts a newline without submitting.

Database-backed interactive sessions also accept these inputs:

start transaction
commit
rollback

Transaction commands must be entered separately and are not accepted in compile-only or one-shot sessions.
