Silverback CLI
==============

[](#silverback-cli)

`amazeelabs/silverback-cli` is a composer package adding tooling and configuration scaffolding to Amazee Drupal projects.

Features:

- 🚀 Install Drupal in seconds.
- 📸 Create/restore Drupal state snapshots instantly.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

**Important:** Make sure your project is already under a version control system. Otherwise, it will be a mess.

1. Make sure you have [all dependencies](https://github.com/AmazeeLabs/silverback-mono#requirements)installed. `direnv` is an important one.
2. Add `amazeelabs/silverback-cli` to `allowed-packages` in `composer.json`. It should be the last one in the list. Example: ```
    "extra": {
      "drupal-scaffold": {
        "allowed-packages": [
          "amazeeio/drupal-integrations",
          "amazeelabs/silverback-cli"
        ]
      }
    }

    ```
3. Make sure `sites/default/settings.php` exists. If it does not, copy it from `sites/default/default.settings.php`.
4. Run ```
    composer require amazeelabs/silverback-cli
    direnv allow

    ```
5. Check the VCS changes.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
# To setup a fresh Drupal installation:
silverback setup --profile=minimal

# To restore a cached installation:
silverback setup

# To see other use cases:
silverback list
silverback help [command_name]
```

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

Silverback makes Drupal use an SQLite database in local environment. The database is located in the Drupal files directory. This means that the whole Drupal state is stored in a single directory.

Silverback puts this directory into `install-cache.zip` and reuses it the next time `silverback setup` is fired.

Snapshots work in the same way. They are just copies of the Drupal files directory.
