Data and GitHub - Bay

Reading the database

bay db <app>                              # the tables, with row counts
bay db <app> <table> --limit 50 --offset 0
bay db <app> --sql "select count(*) from users"

--sql takes exactly one read-only statement. The CLI is a way to look at your data, not a way to migrate it — use a release command for that, so it runs once per deploy before traffic rather than from a laptop.

Shipping on push

bay git <app>                              # the repo it follows, and whether a push ships
bay git <app> --branch main --auto on
bay git <app> disconnect

One app follows one branch of one repository. A second repository is a second app. Once connected, every push to that branch is a build — see Shipping from GitHub.
