      Couchbase Shell (cbsh)

      The new Couchbase shell, or REPL, to interact with Couchbase Capella is now in public beta.

      Use cbsh to:

      • Extract, transform, and load different data formats.

      • Export data as JSON or CSV.

      • Import data from SQLite.

      Use cbsh through development and production, for generating data and checking the status of your indexes.

      For documentation on the Beta release, and more examples, see the Couchbase Shell Documentation.
