fauna schema pull

fauna schema pull [flags]

Pull a database’s remote .fsl schema files into a local directory. By default, pulls the database’s staged schema.

If the database has no staged schema, the command pulls the database’s active schema by default. To explicitly pull the database’s active schema, use --active.

The command runs in the context of a single database, specified using --database or --secret. If using --secret, the command runs in the database to which the secret is scoped.

Specify the local directory using --dir. To delete any schema files in the local directory that are not part of the pulled database schema, use --delete.
