WP-CLI
A command-line tool for managing WordPress installations via a terminal. Used by developers for bulk operations, database management, and deployments.
WP-CLI (WordPress Command Line Interface) is the official command-line tool for managing WordPress installations. It lets developers run WordPress operations directly from a terminal without using the admin dashboard.
Common WP-CLI operations include installing and updating plugins and themes, managing users, running database queries, importing and exporting content, flushing caches, and running custom PHP eval commands. WP-CLI is essential for automated deployments, server-side troubleshooting, and bulk operations that would be impractical through the WordPress admin interface.
