Documentation
Everything you need to install FoxByte, connect your app and run it in production. The full reference lives with the code on GitHub.
From nothing to a branch in four commands
After setup the console opens by itself with a one-time setup token in the link. main already has three small sample tables, so there is something to branch straight away. On Windows, install with PowerShell; the full walk-through is in the quickstart.
$ curl -fsSL https://get.thefoxbyte.com/install.sh | sh $ fox setup # on Linux: sudo fox start instead of fox setup $ fox branch create qa $ psql "postgresql://dbadmin:<API_KEY>@localhost:6432/qa?sslmode=require"
