Cli Helpers
===========

[](#cli-helpers)

This repository aims to make it easier to make it easier to work with Laravel, Akeneo, Magento 2 and Wordpress projects by adding utility functions that utilise the information already available in a `.env` file.

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

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

Because (almost) all these projects utilise composer we support installing this as a composer package though it's not dependent on php itself (except for the scripts utilising Magerun) If you have your global composer in your $PATH (`export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin`) you can run

```
composer global require indykoning/cli-helpers
```

after which you should be able to run

```
cli-helpers
```

### Without Composer

[](#without-composer)

If you don't want to or can't use composer you can simply clone this repository and symlink the `bin/cli-helpers` file to your bin folder. e.g.

```
git clone git@github.com:indykoning/cli-helpers.git
chmod +x cli-helpers/bin/cli-helpers
ln -s `pwd`/cli-helpers/bin/cli-helpers /usr/local/bin/cli-helpers
```

> **Tip!** Install `pv` to get a progress bar when importing and exporting databases

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

You can define a custom env file to use by prepending `ENVFILE=".env.custom"` to the command Our current list of available commands are

### db-magerun

# If you wanna specify where magerun can be found on the remote server
REMOTE_MAGERUN="magerun2"
# If you wanna always use the latest version of Magerun

# Tables to strip the data from using mageruns --strip option https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun2#stripped-database-dump

Anonymizing the database
------------------------

[](#anonymizing-the-database)

To anonymize the database [dbanon](https://github.com/mdshack/dbanon) is used. You can enable it by setting `ANONYMIZE=true` in your `.env` file.

You can optionally set the config file path by setting `DBANON_CONFIG` in your `.env` file. If not set, `dbanon.yml` in the root of your project will be used.
