Contributing

Pull requests (PRs) are welcome. I recommend maintaining a consistent style of code. When making a PR, please ensure it is detailed enough for me to understand, and the code is self-explanatory, clearly indicating what it does. You are welcome to suggest new features and report any bugs.

Developing

To start developing dbctl, clone the repository:

git clone [email protected]:aelpxy/dbctl.git

Create a new branch following the conventional naming schema (not required but preferred - feat/, fix/, refactor/, chore/).

Make your changes and then commit the message.

Finally, create a PR.
