Terminus Plugin: site clone

Summary

The command terminus site clone creates a new site which duplicates the environments, code (including git commits) and content of an existing Pantheon site. This command should work with any Pantheon-supported framework (Drupal or WordPress).

Installation

Install the tarball

Beginning with release 0.1.1 it should work to simply uncompress the tarball linked on the release page in ~/terminus/plugins or the location specified by your $TERMINUS_PLUGINS_DIR. You should end up with this folder structure: ~/terminus/plugins/SiteClone

Install using git

1. Copy the plugin code to ~/terminus/plugins or the location specified by your $TERMINUS_PLUGINS_DIR.
2. In your new SiteClone directory run composer dump-autoload to create the autoload.php file required by the command.
3. In your new SiteClone directory run cp Custom/SiteCloneCustomTrait.php.default Custom/SiteCloneCustomTrait.php. (The ".php" version of this file is ignored in .gitignore to facilitate custom code added by users.)

Verify that the command is working
