WP CLI Project Command

A simple project "package" manager for WordPress WP CLI.

Overview

wp project lets you easily manage your WordPress site by allowing you to track WordPress core and Plugin versions without having to track the actual files. Think of this like a package manager for WordPress. Keep everyone in your team in sync and keep your repo slim.

Helps you resolve issues with plugin versions, when WordPress.org stops supplying specific versions for security reasons.

Updates your .gitignore to keep custom plugins in the repo.

Installing project the command

wp package install git@github.com:SoleGraphics/wp-cli-project.git

Once installed the wp project commands will be avilable.

Starting a new project

wp project init

Creates a new WordPress project in the current directory. If WordPress is found in a higher directory, the project will be created in the root of that WordPress install (location of wp-load.php).

This will download and install WordPress, walking you through the setup process. It will even attempt to create the database if it doesn't exist already.

Installing a project

If a project config file wp-cli-project.json is found in the current directory (or higher) you can install the project with this command.

wp project install

If this is the first install, many things will happen.

• download WordPress at specified version
• configure WordPress (wp-config.php, database creation)
• install WordPress (admin user creation)
• install plugins
• activate plugins

If thie project is already installed, this will attempt to sync any changes to wp-cli-project.json to your install. Such as new plugins, or updates.

Saving changes to a project

If you have updated WordPress or installed or updated a plugin, saving these changes to the project will help you stay in sync with other developers on your team.

wp project save

This will store the core version and all plugin versions in the project file.

Uninstalling a project

NOTE: This is a destructive process!!!

If you're going to call this command, it's best to have saved the project first with wp project save.

• REMOVES all WordPress core files!
