Timestampr
==========

[](#timestampr)

Timestampr is a tool that updates timestamp columns in your mysql database that is not nullable. The tool was made in order to update the database in a laravel project, hence the .env file requirement.

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer global require ventrec/timestampr
```

### How to use it

[](#how-to-use-it)

Navigate to the root of your project folder where your .env file is located. The tool reads database parameters from the file (`DB_HOST`, `DB_USERNAME`, `DB_PASSWORD`, `DB_DATABASE`) which is used to connect to the database. If needed, you can provide an optional parameter for the port.

Run the command.

```
timestampr
```

Run the tool with mysql port as a parameter.

```
timestampr 33060
```
