Is there a command line tool for forestDB? I'm making a bundled database for the C# version of couchbase mobile and I would like to remove some documents that get generated in the db. I used to use the sqlite storage type and remove the localcheckpoint, privateUUID, and publicUUID. If I leave these documents in the bundle, I get weird results from syncing where the user will re-download some or all of the bundled data.

Sort of — if you check out and build forestdb itself, there’s a tool. I believe it only dumps the contents of databases, though; it’s not a Swiss army knife the way the sqlite3 tool is.

I added the ability to delete keys to the forestdb_dump tool if anyone else if looking for this ability.
