WP-CLI Commands

A collection of WP-CLI helpers for our team's development workflow.

Important: These are extremely opinionated to match our development preferences and may not be useful to others. Functionality may also change unexpectedly as our workflows evolve.

Installation

Prerequisites:

• A global copy of WP-CLI

To install the package run the following command:

wp package install eighteen73/wp-cli-tools

Updates

You should ensure that you are running the latest copy of this package, especially before setting up new websites.

To update the package run the following command:

wp package update

Usage

Available commands are listed below. Generally they are designed for use on our Nebula websites unless stated otherwise. For full usage instructions please refer to the package docs.

• create-site - Create new website
• sync - Import the remote website's database
• first-sync - Initialise a local website using a remote database
• style-guide - Add predetermined pages of content for visual checks and sign-off

There is also a special command that may be run on a live website. It does require this package to be available in the remote environment though.

• just-launched - Runs useful post-launch operations on a website to prevent some common gotchas

Development

For development, you'll probably want to run a local clone of this package.

wp package uninstall eighteen73/wp-cli-tools
wp package install /local/path/to/wp-cli-tools
