sequelace opens the site’s MySQL/MariaDB container directly in Sequel Ace. For remote contexts, sitectl establishes an SSH tunnel first so the database port is never exposed on the host. This command is macOS only.

Reference

Open a direct connection to the site’s MySQL/MariaDB container in Sequel Ace. For remote contexts, sitectl establishes an SSH tunnel before launching Sequel Ace so the database port is never exposed on the host. This command is macOS only.

How it works

For local contexts, sitectl connects Sequel Ace directly to the container port. For remote contexts, sitectl opens an SSH tunnel to the host, forwards the database port to a random local port, then launches Sequel Ace pointed at that local port. The tunnel is managed by sitectl — you don’t need to set up the tunnel manually.
