Sketching a good syntax for Omniscient gem.

omniscient_clone_syntax.sh

# Omniscient is a gem that automatically dumps a MySQL database in a remote server,
# copies the dumped file to localhost via scp and imports it, overwriting the local
# database (or table).

# It'll be very useful for those that are developing using more than one machine and
# don't want to dump and clone data manually.

# Setup a new host machine
$ omniscient add

# If during setup, you selected 'dbname' as your standards database,
# clone 'dbname' database from a known host called 'aliasname'.
$ omniscient clone aliasname

# Clone 'custom_dbname' database from a known host called 'aliasname'.
$ omniscient clone aliasname -d custom_dbname

# Clone a specific table called my_table
$ omniscient clone aliasname -d dbname -t my_table

# Dump a remote database, copies it via scp but don't import
$ omniscient dump aliasname -d database

You can use a file with configurations, like: omniscient --config /var/foo/my-config.yml

Or a default file at ~/.my-default-config.yml.

jusnavigandi it's me! :D

I'm doing just that: ~/.omniscient_config.yml

Thanks.
