gel watch​

Start a long-running process that watches for changes in schema files in your project's dbschema directory and applies those changes to your current branch in real time. Starting it is as simple as running this command:

gel watch

If a schema change cannot be applied, you will see an error in the gel watch console. You will also receive the error when you try to run a query with any Gel client binding.

To learn about our recommended development migration workflow using gel watch, read our intro to migrations.

If you want to apply a migration in the same manner as watch but without the long-running process, use gel migrate --dev-mode. See gel migration apply for more details.
