This project follows the official Drupal CMS releases and includes Acquia-specific additions and integrations. Example workflow using [Acquia CLI](https://docs.acquia.com/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/acquia-cli/install) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#example-workflow-using-acquia-cli) 1. Create project ``` composer create-project acquia/drupal-cms-project ``` 2. Initialize repo and commit ``` cd drupal-cms-project && git init && git add -A && git commit -m "initial build" ``` 3. Build artifact and push to cloud ``` /usr/local/bin/acli push:artifact --destination-git-urls= --destination-git-branch=dist --quiet ``` 4. Checkout the new branch on cloud ``` /usr/local/bin/acli app:task-wait "$(/usr/local/bin/acli api:environments:code-switch .dev dist)" ``` 5. Drop database on cloud if you have previously installed a site and want to see the Drupal CMS installer ``` /usr/local/bin/acli remote:drush @.dev sql:drop ``` 6. Visit your site! Branches -------- [](#branches) This repo ships with two branches: `main` and `dist`. ### main [](#main) The `main` branch is used for development. When you're ready to deploy a feature or update, you will build an artifact from the main branch using ACLI. #### Develop and deploy a feature [](#develop-and-deploy-a-feature) 1. Create a feature branch from `main```` $ git checkout -b main ``` 2. Do your work on the feature branch. Once it's reviewed and ready, merge it back into main. 3. Create a deployment artifact from `main`. ``` $ acli push:artifact --destination-git-urls="" --destination-git-branch= ``` ### dist [](#dist) The `dist` branch is a prebuilt deployment artifact. You can use it to get an application up and running quickly without building an artifact. You must generate a unique salt hash in the `dist` branch before using it. You can use the Drupal Recommended Settings provided Drush command to do this: `drush drupal:hash-salt:init`. This artifact uses the latest PHP version available on Acquia, currently 8.5. The prebuilt `dist` branch is generally NOT recommended for normal workflows. #### Example `dist` branch workflow [](#example-dist-branch-workflow) 1. Clone the repo. ``` $ git clone git@github.com:acquia/drupal-cms-project.git ``` 2. Check out the `dist` branch. ``` $ git checkout dist ``` 3. Remove the GitHub remote. ``` $ git remote remove origin ``` 4. Generate a unique hash salt and add it to Git. ``` $ vendor/bin/drush drupal:hash-salt:init $ git add -A $ git commit -m "Unique hash salt" ``` 5. Add your Acquia Git URL as a remote and push the `dist` branch to it. ``` $ git remote add acquia $ git push acquia dist ``` 6. Checkout the dist branch on cloud. ``` $ acli app:task-wait "$(/usr/local/bin/acli api:environments:code-switch . dist)" ``` 7. Install from the prebuilt artifact's configuration on cloud. ``` $ acli remote:drush @. -- site:install --existing-config --yes ``` 8. Import the default content provided by Drupal CMS starter. ``` $ acli remote:drush @. -- content:import ../recipes/drupal_cms_starter/content --yes ``` License ------- [](#license) Copyright (C) 2026 Acquia, Inc.
