Usage: skeema init [<options>] [<environment>]
Creates a filesystem representation of the schemas on a database server. For each schema on the DB server (or just the single schema specified by schema), a subdir with a .skeema config file will be created. Each directory will be populated with .sql files containing CREATE statements for every table and routine in the schema.
You may optionally pass an environment name as a command-line arg. This will affect which section of .skeema config files the host-related options are written to. For example, running skeema init staging will add config directives to the [staging] section of config files. If no environment name is supplied, the default is “production”, so directives will be written to the [production] section of the file.
