Turso CLI in review
Congratulations, you’ve finished the Turso CLI tutorial! You should now be able to effectively use most of the functionality provided by the CLI.
Commands you learned
turso auth signup
This starts the signup process that allows the CLI to work with Turso databases.
turso auth login
This starts the authentication process, similar to turso auth signup
. Since
the authentication token you receive expires after 7 days, you must run this
periodically to continue working with your databases.
turso db locations
This lists all supported locations, highlighting your current default location.
turso db create
This creates a new logical database in a placement group. A default placement group is created if one doesn't yet exist.
turso db show
This shows details for a specific logical database, including its URL and all of the instances in all locations.
turso db list
This lists all of the logical databases associated with the account that’s currently logged in.
turso db shell
This starts an interactive shell to issue SQL statements against your database. By default it uses the primary, and you can also point it to a replica using its URL.
turso group locations add
This adds a new location to a placement group, replicating all of the databases in that group to that location.
turso db inspect
This shows current database usage for billing purposes.
turso db destroy
This destroys a specific replica by name, or all replicas in a named location, or the entire database.
turso auth logout
This removes the authentication token previously provided by turso auth login
,
requiring you to log in again to continue working with your databases.
Built-in help
The CLI has help available. The following command summarizes the top-level commands available:
turso help
For each specific command, you can add the --help
flag to get details on all
the sub-commands and flags. For example:
turso db --help
turso db create --help
