untar the packagefrom drupal.org

But why do I need to use Drush ?(yes!! its a valid question)



Drush TDrush Time Saverime Saver

Typical Way to Drupal :

Go to site page, look for required version and download.Install and add necessary modules and themes etc.

Drush Way to Drupal :

drush dl drupal (it installs Drupal directly)

drush dl module1 module2 theme1 theme2 module3

For a specific drupal/module version, use:drush dl drupal-6.x-1.0-beta3

Not only this, but more..Not only this, but more..

(coz Drush is extensible)

Integrates with most commonly used modules and lets you dothe configurations.

Example Backup and Migrate module:

bam backup to backup the site's db bam restore to restore the site db

bam backups to get the list of all backups stored.

It does not just let us work with modules but

build the whole projects too. And that too very

rapidly.

One of the most loved features ofDrush is

Drush Make.

Installation ProfileInstallation Profile

Installation Profiles traditionally have been a piece of PHP

code that tells Drupal what to do when the site is installed.

When one used to download that install profile, they would

just get that file.

Drupal.org, using Drush Make as a backend, now allows

modules and themes to come with profiles, all in the same

file.

Is Drush the future of how Drupal can beIs Drush the future of how Drupal can beused?used?

Most certainly

But we would need to standardize some practices.

Sync and re-sync is another area that we might want toexplore.

Questions to ourselves.

Can we incorporate such a practice?

What about the Windows people? (NO you cant outcastthem!!)
