supabase

supabase command [options]

supabase is the command-line interface for managing Supabase projects, an open-source Firebase alternative built on PostgreSQL. It provides tools for local development, database migration management, type generation, and deployment to hosted Supabase projects.The local development environment runs a complete Supabase stack using Docker, including PostgreSQL, authentication services, object storage, realtime subscriptions, and Edge Functions. This allows developing and testing against a production-equivalent environment without needing a remote project.Database migrations track schema changes in version control. The CLI can generate TypeScript types from the database schema for type-safe client code. Linking connects the local project to a hosted Supabase instance for deploying migrations and Edge Functions to production.
