https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db
Usage: orbitdb <command> <database>
Commands:
add <database> [<data>] Add an entry to an eventlog or feed
database. Can be only used on:
eventlog|feed
create <database> <type> Create a new database. Type can be one of:
eventlog|feed|docstore|keyvalue|counter
[aliases: new]
del <database> <key> Delete an entry from a database. Only valid
for data types of: docstore|keyvalue|feed
[aliases: delete, remove]
demo <name> Runs a sequence of commands as an example
[aliases: tour]
drop <database> yes Remove a database locally. This doesn't
remove data on other nodes that have the
removed database replicated.
[aliases: destroy]
get <database> [<search>] Query the database.
[aliases: query, search]
id Show information about current orbit-db id
import <file> <database> <schema> Import a CSV file to a document database
[aliases: csv]
inc <database> [<increment>] Increase the value of a counter database.
Default increment is 1. [aliases: increase]
info <database> Show information about a database
[aliases: status]
put <database> <document> Add a document to a document database
replicate <database> Replicate a database with peers.
set <database> <key> <value> Set a value of a key in KeyValue database
version Show information about current orbit-db
Options:
-h, --help Show help [boolean]
By default, orbit-db creates a data directory ./orbitdb under which metadata of databases is stored along with the actual data blocks saved in IPFS. The metadata can be found under ./orbitdb/QmFoo/database.orbitdb for each database. The data blocks saved in IPFS are in ./orbitdb/ipfs.
To use another orbit-db data directory (as opposed to the default ./orbitdb), set ORBITDB_PATH environment variable to point to the desired data directory. Eg. run the CLI with ORBITDB_PATH=/path/orbitdb orbitdb ...
To use orbit-db with an existing IPFS data repository, set the IPFS_PATH environment variable to the desired IPFS repository path. Eg. run the CLI with IPFS_PATH=/path/to/ipfs orbitdb ...

Demo finished!
Demo:
Run in the terminal:
orbitdb create a eventlog
Copy the address the above command output. Eg. /orbitdb/QmQxfgdjo3EQZiqBgt4uDiJNoLNedRNCZTHCquohxScsXc/a.
In a second terminal, run:
mkdir tmp/ && cd tmp/
orbitdb replicate <address> --progress
Eg. orbitdb replicate /orbitdb/QmQxfgdjo3EQZiqBgt4uDiJNoLNedRNCZTHCquohxScsXc/a --progress --dashboard
Output:
