## Overview

Supabase CLI is a command-line tool for developing against the Supabase Platform from a terminal. It runs a local Supabase stack (Postgres, Auth, Realtime, Storage, Edge Functions, and the Supabase APIs) via `supabase init`, `supabase start`, and `supabase status`, and can scaffold a project from a template with `supabase bootstrap`.

For database work, it creates migrations (`supabase migration new`), compares schemas (`supabase db diff`), and applies changes with `supabase db push` or `supabase db reset`, either locally or against a linked hosted project. `supabase login` and `supabase link` connect a local workspace to a hosted Supabase project.

It also handles Edge Functions (`functions new`, `functions serve`, `functions deploy`) and generates TypeScript types from a local or linked database with `supabase gen types --local` or `--linked`. Every command supports `--help` for flags and examples.

It is aimed at developers building on Supabase who want local development and deployment in one workflow. It installs through npm, Homebrew, Scoop, or Linux packages (.apk, .deb, .rpm, .pkg.tar.zst), with beta channels for npm, Homebrew, and Scoop.
