It supports PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQLite, and LibSQL, and exposes the familiar migration commands new, up, down, create, drop, and status. ### Project history The README says Geni was heavily inspired by dbmate and was created because dbmate lacked LibSQL support. That origin places it in the family of small standalone migration tools, with a particular emphasis on LibSQL and Turso-era SQLite-compatible databases. ### Adoption history Geni's adoption evidence is narrower than older Unix tools: the README documents installation through GitHub release binaries, Homebrew, pkgx, Nix, Cargo, and Docker images, and Homebrew packages it as a standalone formula. ### How it is used Practitioners use Geni in local development or continuous delivery to create timestamped up/down SQL migrations, apply pending migrations, roll back a chosen number of migrations, check migration status, dump schema files for review, and connect through DATABASE_URL. The README also documents SSH tunneling and DATABASE_TOKEN for LibSQL or Turso authentication. ### Why package nerds care Geni is package-nerd interesting because it keeps migration behavior in a single CLI instead of inside an application framework, while also tracking newer LibSQL workflows that older migration tools did not always cover. ### Timeline - 1.3.3: Cargo metadata identified Geni as a standalone database CLI migration tool. - README: the project documented its dbmate inspiration and LibSQL motivation. - Homebrew: the formula packaged Geni as a standalone migration command. ### Related projects - Related projects and libraries include dbmate, libsql, Turso, SQLx, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** geni - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [lazysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lazysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, postgresql, sqlite. - [rainfrog](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rainfrog/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, postgresql, sqlite. - [schema-evolution-manager](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/schema-evolution-manager/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database-migrations, postgresql. - [whodb-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/whodb-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, postgresql, sqlite. - [kitchen-sync](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kitchen-sync/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, postgresql. - [mysql-to-sqlite3](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mysql-to-sqlite3/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, sqlite. - [sqlite3-to-mysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sqlite3-to-mysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, sqlite. - [wal-g](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/wal-g/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, mysql, postgresql. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
