Welcome to pgcopydb’s documentation!

The pgcopydb project is an Open Source Software project. The development happens at https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb and is public: everyone is welcome to participate by opening issues, pull requests, giving feedback, etc.

Remember that the first steps are to actually play with the pgcopydb command, then read the entire available documentation (after all, I took the time to write it), and then to address the community in a kind and polite way — the same way you would expect people to use when addressing you.
