Prefer the terminal? The fox CLI runs the same schema engine as the FoxSchema app, so you can compare database schemas from the command line — ideal for scripts, automation, and CI.
One-time setup
$ fox setup --email you@example.com
This binds the encryption key (kept in your OS keychain) that protects saved connection passwords.
Compare two schemas
$ fox compare --source prod --target staging
✓ exit 0 = identical, exit 1 = drift
The non-zero exit on drift is what makes this scriptable — drop it into a pipeline as a gate.
Snapshot and migrate
fox snapshot dumps a schema as DDL; fox migrate diffs source and target and applies the changes with the same dry-run and snapshot safeguards as the UI. There is also a full-screen interactive mode: fox tui.
Get the CLI
The fox command ships with every build. Download FoxSchema and see the documentation for the full command reference.
