myneid/laravel-db-tui

laravel-db-tui is a command-line tool for developers who work with Laravel, a popular PHP web framework. It solves a common frustration: when you need to quickly check database records, run a test query, or edit a value, you normally have to switch between your terminal, a separate GUI app like a database browser, and your code editor. This tool brings all of that directly into the terminal so you can stay in one place. Once installed and launched with a single command (php artisan db:tui), it opens an interactive split-screen view inside your terminal. On the left, you see a list of all the tables in your database. On the right, you see the rows in the selected table, paginated and scrollable. You can sort any column by pressing a number key, open a specific row to see all its fields, and even edit a value and save it straight back to the database without leaving the terminal. There is also a built-in SQL editor for running custom queries. You type a query, press Enter, and the results appear in the same interface. Any result row can be opened for a closer look. Non-read queries (such as INSERT or DELETE) work too, and the tool reports how many rows were affected. Beyond Laravel projects, the tool can connect to any MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite database by providing a connection URL. Connections can be saved by name for quick reuse later. Mouse clicks and scroll are supported alongside keyboard navigation. It is written in PHP and requires PHP 8.1 or later and Laravel version 10 or newer.
