Usage

Usage: fides db <command>

The following subcommands are available:

• init - Initializes the Fides database.
• reset - Wipes all user-created data and resets the database back to its freshly initialized state.

Running this command should result in output that resembles the following:

Example: Initialize the Fides database

This example initializes the Fides database.

$ fides db init
Loaded config from: .fides/fides.toml
{'data': {'message': 'fides database initialized'}}

This example wipes all user data and resets the database back to its initialized state.

$ fides db reset

This will drop all data from the Fides database and reload the default taxonomy!
