Go DB Snapshot Replication For MySQL

A very basic script to replicate one database and import it into another

Usage

Copy the .env.example

cp .env.example .env

Populate the env to get the original data and create a replica.

Run the bash query.

You can check the bash script by just running go run main.go

go run main.go | bash -
