history

Project history and usage

Supabase CLI is the official command-line tool for local Supabase development and platform operations, including local stacks, migrations, Edge Functions, backups, type generation, and project automation.

Project history

The official repository was created in November 2020. The README describes a TypeScript/Bun monorepo whose published package lives in `apps/cli`, with a legacy Go CLI source tree also kept in the repository.

Adoption history

Supabase distributes the CLI through npm, Homebrew, Scoop, GitHub Releases, and Linux packages. The README distinguishes the official Homebrew core formula from the Supabase tap and beta channel, making packaging channels part of the tool's normal release story.

How it is used

Common commands include `supabase init`, `supabase start`, `supabase status`, `supabase login`, `supabase link`, `supabase migration`, `supabase db`, `supabase functions`, and `supabase gen types`.

Why package nerds care

Package-manager users care about Supabase CLI because it is the reproducible entry point for running a full local Supabase stack, generating project artifacts, and aligning local database migrations with hosted projects.

Timeline
