env pull

Write DATABASE_URL template to .env

Write a DATABASE_URL connection string template to a .env file (or a custom file via --file). The URL points to the project's PgBeam proxy host. You'll need to replace USER, PASS, and YOUR_DB with your actual upstream database credentials. If the file already contains a DATABASE_URL, you'll be prompted before overwriting unless --yes is passed.

Usage

pgbeam env pull [flags]

Global options

All global options (--token, --profile, --project, --org, --json, --no-color, --debug) are also available on this command.

Examples

# Write DATABASE_URL to .env
pgbeam env pull

# Write to a custom file

# Overwrite existing DATABASE_URL without confirmation
pgbeam env pull --yes

Output
