Show HN: Pgbranch – Git-Style Branching for Local PostgreSQL Development (github.com)
3 points by lenvl 202 days ago
Why: During development, quite often I needed to test database migrations, try different data states, or experiment with schema changes. Standard approaches (manual dumps, Docker rebuilds, migration reversals) were too slow or cumbersome for rapid iteration.

Sometimes your migration will corrupt data, sometimes the feature is still in development, but you have to go to the main.

I have been using it for a day, and it seems to be working

JFYI: Don't use for prod :)
