prisma bootstrap command

Prisma ORM v7.7.0 introduces a new prisma bootstrap command that sequences the full Prisma Postgres setup into a single interactive flow.

It detects the current project state and only runs the steps that are needed:

1. Init or scaffold: In an empty directory, offers a choice of 10 starter templates from prisma-examples. In an existing project without a schema, it runs prisma init.
2. Link: Authenticates via the browser and connects to a Prisma Postgres database. Skips if the project is already linked.
3. Install dependencies: Detects the package manager and offers to install missing @prisma/client, prisma, and dotenv.
4. Migrate: Runs prisma migrate dev if the schema contains models.
5. Generate: Runs prisma generate.
6. Seed: Runs prisma db seed if a seed script is configured.

Each side-effecting step prompts for confirmation, and re-running the command skips any steps that are already complete.

This feature shipped in #29374 and #29424.

Basic usage

npx prisma@latest bootstrap

With a starter template

npx prisma@latest bootstrap --template nextjs

Non-interactive (CI)

npx prisma@latest bootstrap --api-key "$PRISMA_API_KEY" --database "db_abc123"
