This 90 minute WP-CLI workshop will be split into two halves. The first half will introduce users to the effective use of WP-CLI, including best practices for implementation and usage, how to effectively manage a website with WP-CLI, and tips and tricks for reducing the time you spend managing WordPress.
The second half of the workshop will cover writing your own commands for WP-CLI in PHP, including writing and using tests, writing effective documentation and how it’s used, and considerations for interoperability and input/output formatting.
Members of the WP-CLI team will be presenting, instructing, and helping attendees with tasks that are set as part of the workshop. They’ll be on-hand to provide guidance, assistance, and answer questions from attendees.
The workshop will be wrapped up with some fun uses for WP-CLI.
The workshop is aimed at developers and site maintainers who have at least some familiarity with the command line, but have yet to dive into using WP-CLI effectively or have yet to write their own commands.
If you’ve already started using WP-CLI but aren’t yet familiar with all the things that it can do, this workshop will also be useful for you.
Attendees are expected to have a working WP-CLI installation *prior* to attending the workshop (either on their own laptop or on a remote machine which they can access during the workshop), along with a web server that can run WordPress. There will not be enough time during the workshop to cover the initial installation of WP-CLI.
