```
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dennisinteractive/drupal_console_commands/master/Makefile > Makefile

```

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

These are custom commands used to build a site. The information about the site comes from `~/.console/sites/site-name.yml`. See some examples of site YAML files at [https://github.com/dennisinteractive/drupal\_console\_commands/tree/master/sites](https://github.com/dennisinteractive/drupal_console_commands/tree/master/sites)

- drupal **site:build**

    Runs the following commands to build a site:

    - site:checkout
    - site:compose|make
    - site:npm
    - site:grunt
    - site:settings
    - site:phpunit:setup
    - site:behat:setup
    - site:db:import
    - site:update

    options:

    - skip: Use this option to leave out one or more commands. i.e. `--skip="checkout, phpunit:setup"` will run all the steps above except`site:checkout` and `site:phpunit:setup`.
- drupal **site:new**

    Builds a new site using a Drupal project as template from one of the following:

    - drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev
    - acquia/lightning-project
    - acquia/reservoir-project
- drupal **site:checkout** *site-name* \[--branch|--tag\]

    Performs a git clone and checks out the specified branch or tag

    - drupal **site:checkout:tag** *site-name* --tag

        Performs a `git clone` and checks out the specified tag/revision
    - drupal **site:checkout:branch** *site-name* --branch

        Performs a `git clone` and checks out the specified branch
- drupal **site:compose** *site-name*

    Runs `composer install`
- drupal **site:make** *site-name*

    Runs `drush make`
- drupal **site:npm**

    Compiles NPM packages and runs `npm`
- drupal **site:grunt**

    Compiles Grunt packages and runs `grunt`
- drupal **site:settings** *site-name*

    - Runs the following commands:

        - site:settings:db
        - site:settings:memcache
    - Creates *settings.php* using *default.settings.php* provided by Drupal core
    - Appends includes for the settings below:

        - *settings.db.php* for database credentials.
        - *settings.memcache.php* for memcache configuration.
        - *settings.local.php* in the *web/sites/\[site name\]* directory.

        This file is auto-generated and should not be committed. If you have a file named `web/sites/example.settings.local.php` in the site's folder, it will be used as a template for `settings.local.php`.

        - *settings.\[env\].php* These files are auto-generated and should not be committed. Depending on your environment (--env option), it will copy the respective file into *web/sites/\[site name\]*. i.e. default.settings.dev.php -> settings.dev.php
        - *settings.mine.php* Use this file to add your personal customisations to override all of the above.

    **It is recommended that you add settings.\*.php to .gitignore.**
- drupal **site:settings:db** *site-name*

    Creates *settings.db.php* in the *web/sites/default* folder. This file contains DB credentials and should not be committed.
- drupal **site:settings:memcache** *site-name*

    Creates *settings.memcache.php* in the *web/sites/default* folder. This file contains Memcache configuration and should not be committed.
- drupal **site:phpunit:setup** *site-name*

    Creates *phpunit.xml* in the root. This file contains PHPUnit configuration and should not be committed.
- drupal **site:behat:setup** *site-name*

    Creates *behat.yml* in the *tests* folder. This file contains Behat configuration and should not be committed.
- drupal **site:db:import** *site-name*

    If a database dump is available, it will drop the current database and import the dump. The information for this comes from `~/.console/sites/site-name.yml`.

    The command will copy the dump from the original place to `/tmp`. Runing the command again will only copy the file if the original has changed. This is very useful when working remotely on slow networks.

    If no db-dump information is available or there is no dump at the location, it will run a site install.

    Currently, the supported extensions are `.sql` and `.sql.gz` only.
- drupal **site:update** *site-name*

    Runs updates, import configuration, clear caches. You can enable or disable modules after import by adding the list to the site.yml file as follows:

    ```
      modules:
        enable:
          - stage_file_proxy
          - devel
        disable:
          - cdn

    ```
- drupal **site:test** *site-name*

    Runs test suites

    ```
    - `./behat %s` (Behat tests)
    - `./vendor/bin/phpunit` (PHPUnit tests)

    ```
