Features -------- [](#features) - Create new ProcessWire projects - Serve ProcessWire via built-in PHP webserver - Perform database backup and restoration - Manage fields, templates, roles, users, and modules - Generate boilerplate modules - Check for core upgrades - And more... wire-cli is based on the defunct wireshell, built using the [Symfony Console](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console.html) Component, offering a powerful and intuitive command-line interface for interacting with ProcessWire projects and adding new commands. It is compatible with PHP 8.1. Please note that wire-cli and another tool called [rockshell](https://github.com/baumrock/rockshell) share similar goals and functionality. In the future, the features of wire-cli and rockshell will be merged to provide a unified and comprehensive CLI tool for ProcessWire developers.
