+## Genji shell
+
+Besides generating code, the genji command line provides an SQL shell that can be used to create, modify and consult Genji databases.
+
+Make sure the Genji command line is installed:
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/asdine/genji/cmd/genji
+```
+
+Example:

+```bash
+# Opening an in-memory database:

+# Opening a BoltDB database:
+genji my.db
+
+# Opening a Badger database:
+genji --badger pathToData
