Example custom command in a WP-CLI Package for automating WordPress setup in Lando using WP-CLI.

🔗 Slides

At present, I recommend forking this repo and modifying it to your liking.

Or, install this repo as a package.

1. lando init --recipe=wordpress
2. lando start
3. lando wp package install [email protected]:0aveRyan/wp-lando.git

See below for usage of the wp lando install command

WordPress Credentials
User: lando
Password: lando

I recommend forking this, because it installs a bunch of personal preferences and names the lando user Dave Ryan. In the future, I may expand this command to be more reusable or add additional commands as I try to automate more of my Lando workflows.

wp lando install [subdomain-string/site_url]

(if you're using this with Lando, you're probably typing lando wp lando install ...)

• wp lando install $url or --url= [string]

Lando puts sites at https://{slug}.lndo.site, so you can type either the slug or the full URL

• wp lando install $url $title or --title= [string]

This allows you to set the Site Title.

I realized that for months I was spending about 30-60 minutes each week -- or a total of 48 hours annually -- configuring environments, installing the tools I needed as-needed, etc.

So instead of writing a script, I spent an hour writing a custom WP-CLI Command I can install as a WP-CLI Package.

I'll break even on my time investment in a week or two.
