# Beekeeper Studio Cross-Platform SQL Editor and Database Manager

A source-backed ASE skill for Beekeeper Studio, the SQL editor and database manager for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It fits workflows that need a real client for querying, browsing tables, and working across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and other supported databases.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/beekeeper-studio.git beekeeper-studio
- yarn install # installs dependencies
- yarn run electron:serve ## the app will now start
- brew update

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Does it use a different node version. Eg Electron-18 uses node 14, 22 uses node 16. So everyone needs to upgrade
- Does node-abi need to be upgraded to be able to understand the electron version? This is used in the build to fetch prebuilt packages. You need to upgrade this in root/package.json#resolutions

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Query run-history, so you can find that one query you got working 3 days ago
- run git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline | grep 'Merge pull' to find PRs merged
