Jab

jab is a database state management tool, think of it as git but for database. You can commit your current db state and checkout to your previous db state.

📠 Notes

• Currently only supports postgres.
• This project only works if you have ON DELETE CASCADE on every FK constraints otherwise we can't do clean restore (hopefully this will change in the future).

🔩 Installation
