Project history and usage

Geni is a Rust database migration CLI for teams that want migration files and database state changes outside any one ORM. It supports PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQLite, and LibSQL, and exposes the familiar migration commands new, up, down, create, drop, and status.

Project history

The README says Geni was heavily inspired by dbmate and was created because dbmate lacked LibSQL support. That origin places it in the family of small standalone migration tools, with a particular emphasis on LibSQL and Turso-era SQLite-compatible databases.

Adoption history

Geni's adoption evidence is narrower than older Unix tools: the README documents installation through GitHub release binaries, Homebrew, pkgx, Nix, Cargo, and Docker images, and Homebrew packages it as a standalone formula.

How it is used

Practitioners use Geni in local development or continuous delivery to create timestamped up/down SQL migrations, apply pending migrations, roll back a chosen number of migrations, check migration status, dump schema files for review, and connect through DATABASE_URL. The README also documents SSH tunneling and DATABASE_TOKEN for LibSQL or Turso authentication.

Why package nerds care

Geni is package-nerd interesting because it keeps migration behavior in a single CLI instead of inside an application framework, while also tracking newer LibSQL workflows that older migration tools did not always cover.
