wp-cli-git-helper

Adds the wp gh command, which is a wrapper for wp [plugin|theme] [update|install].

Huh?

One common workflow for managing a WordPress site through version control is to keep the entire codebase - WP, themes, and plugins - under version control. On this setup, updating third-party plugins and themes can be tedious, since updates may be frequent, requiring lots of commits and commit messages. wp gh does this work for you, by composing a commit message and performing the commit.

Examples

Installing a plugin:

$ wp gh plugin install --version=3.0 jetpack
Installing Jetpack by WordPress.com (3.0)
Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/jetpack.3.0.zip...
Unpacking the package...
Installing the plugin...
Plugin installed successfully.

Totally Sweet and Customizable Features

None to speak of. This is a tool I've built for my own workflow. It assumes that you keep your entire WP installation in the same repo. It assumes that you like the commit message format I've chosen. It does not support core updates (yet). Some things I will eventually add:

  • Ability to override the commit message, either by passing it directly as a --commit-message param, or perhaps by drafting a commit message and then sending you to $EDITOR.
  • Support for wp core update.
  • Proper delete support.
  • Support for the --all flag.
  • SVN support (jk!)
