What is wp-cli?
--------------
A set of tools for controlling WordPress installations from the command line.
Requirements
------------
PHP >= 5.3
Installing
----------
**Via PEAR:**
```sh
pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear install andreascreten.github.com/wp-cli/wpcli
```
**Via GIT:**
```sh
git clone --recurse-submodules git://github.com/andreascreten/wp-cli.git ~/git/wp-cli
cd ~/git/wp-cli
sudo utils/build-dev
```
You can replace `~/git/wp-cli` with whatever you want.
Using
-----
Go into a WordPress root folder:
```
cd /var/www/wp/
```
Typing `wp help` should show you an output similar to this:
```
Example usage:
wp google-sitemap [build|help] ...
wp core [update|help] ...
wp home [help] ...
wp option [add|update|delete|get|help] ...
wp plugin [status|activate|deactivate|install|delete|update|help] ...
wp theme [status|details|activate|help] ...
```
So this tells us which commands are installed: eg. google-sitemap, core, home, ...
Between brackets you can see their sub commands.
Let's for example try to install the hello dolly plugin from wordpress.org:
```
wp plugin install hello-dolly
```
Output:
```
Installing Hello Dolly (1.5)
Downloading install package from http://downloads.WordPress.org/plugin/hello-dolly.1.5.zip ...
Unpacking the package ...
Installing the plugin ...
Success: The plugin is successfully installed
```
Multisite
---------
On a multisite installation, you need to pass a --blog parameter, so that WP knows which site it's supposed to be operating on:
```
wp theme status --blog=localhost/wp/test
```
If you have a subdomain installation, it would look like this:
```
wp theme status --blog=test.example.com
```
If you're usually working on the same site most of the time, you can put the url of that site in a file called 'wp-cli-blog' in your root WP dir:
```
echo 'test.example.com' > wp-cli-blog
```
Then, you can call `wp` without the --blog parameter again:
```
wp theme status
```
Adding commands
---------------
Adding commands to wp-cli is very easy. You can even add them from within your own plugin.
You can find more information about adding commands in the [Commands Cookbook](https://github.com/andreascreten/wp-cli/wiki/Commands-Cookbook) on our Wiki.
**Please share the commands you make, issue a pull request to get them included in wp-cli by default.**
