Getting Started
Make sure to first set up your PlanetScale developer environment. Once you've installed the pscale CLI, you can interact with PlanetScale and manage your databases straight from the command line.
The deploy-request command
This command allows you to create, review, diff, and manage deploy requests.
Usage:
pscale deploy-request <SUB-COMMAND> <FLAG>
Your database must have a production branch with safe migrations enabled before you can create a deploy request.
