Better Auth comes with a built-in CLI to help you manage the database schema needed for both core functionality and plugins.
The CLI includes an init command to add Better Auth to your project.
npx auth@latest init
The generate command creates the schema required by Better Auth.
If you’re using a database adapter like Prisma or Drizzle, this command will
generate the right schema for your ORM.
If you’re using the built-in Kysely adapter, it will generate an SQL file you
can run directly on your database.
npx auth@latest generate
The migrate command applies the Better Auth schema directly to your database.
This is available if you’re using the built-in Kysely adapter.
For other adapters, you’ll need to apply the schema using your ORM’s migration
tool.
npx auth@latest migrate
The CLI also provides a way to generate a secret key for your Better Auth instance.
npx auth@latest secret
MIT
