    Thank you everyone for the suggestions and votes for this over the years.

    I’d like to surface up a workaround for the “linking” problem which is mentioned in the comments. For the use case of easing pains around environment setup with a large number of databases, we have had customers find success using code based off Alessandro Alpi’s blog post: https://alessandroalpi.blog/2016/06/28/automatically-link-databases-to-red-gate-sql-source-control/

    I do understand that this is a broader issue and hear that many of you also want command line or API support for the product in general.

    If there are specific scenarios or workflows that would be useful to automate for you, this feedback is also very useful, and if you have details on the type of VCS you use and the workflow (such as a branching model) that it would fit in to, that would be very helpful for us to hear as well.

    @David That's it in one! Currently we have something home-grown which uses the existing API to create and sync a developer database, would be great if that could also link-to-source-control. On the API versus built-in debate: one could ask why the API exists at all in that case ;-)

    Lookls like this request has been merged with a separate one I made for an API call to 'Link database to source control'. Note my request was specifically for an API call rather than a command line, though perhaps Red Gate would need to do one to achieve the other.

    With this in place we could create a one-click developer setup, which creates a local database, synchs it with a specified version in source control, and links it to source control.
