WP-CLI CiviCRM Integration

[Kevin Cristiano]

I would like it bundled with the WordPress download of Civi as that will make it available to everyone.  Most will not do an install via composer and now that wp-cli is no longer using composer I think that this just seems the better way to go.

I've been talking a bit with Kevin at the MD sprint, and bundling it in seems good for now. Even if we don't solve the chicken-and-egg, it's still quite valuable; for someone who's use-case makes it worthwhile to manually install the wp-cli plugin, they could still do that the same way. It should be no better or worse than the Drupal/drush situation.

Anyway, we've copied it into 4.5 ( https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/55 ) and patched to allow double-installation ( https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress/pull/57 ).

Hi Totten / Kevin,

Ok, sounds great - and please accept my apologies for not getting round to doing that, it is literally sitting on a list right next to me with exclamation marks next to it.

Thanks very much for doing that though, hope it is useful to a few people.

Yup. For starters, we can use it to update the demo sites to install extensions (CiviVolunteer) as part of the nightly rebuild.

Also, an update the "API Explorer" will try to bring some more attention to it: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/4126
