Description

Section titled “Description”

Updates only the fields that are explicitly provided via flags. This is a partial update – fields that are not specified retain their current values.

Setting --dst-url, --sanitize-dst-url, --sanitize-query-file, or --storage-profile to an empty string ("") will clear that field.

The command returns an error if no flags are provided.

By default, any new or changed database URLs are verified for connectivity. Use --no-verify to skip this check.

Examples

Section titled “Examples”

Update the number of dump jobs:

clonit targets update mydb --dump-jobs 8

Change the destination URL:

clonit targets update mydb --dst-url "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb_restore"

Clear an optional field:

clonit targets update mydb --sanitize-query-file ""

Rename a target:

clonit targets update mydb --name mydb-production

Update with verification skipped:

clonit targets update mydb --src-url "postgresql://user:pass@new-host:5432/mydb" --no-verify

Add schema filtering to an existing target:

clonit targets update mydb --src-schema-include public,app_*

Clear schema filters:

clonit targets update mydb --src-schema-include ""

Schema filter flags accept comma-separated glob patterns. See targets add for details on schema filtering behavior.
