You're SSH'd into prod, SQLite file staring back, but your fancy GUIs are useless. Enter ShellQL: a bash-built TUI that lets you browse, edit, and query anywhere bash and sqlite3 live.

⚡ Key Takeaways

  • ShellQL runs anywhere bash and sqlite3 exist—no installs, perfect for prod SSH, Docker, CI.
  • Mouse + keyboard TUI with tabs beats raw sqlite3; schema parsing native.
  • Changes remote SQLite debugging: live edits without port forwards or file syncs.
