First things ﬁrst: drush ‣ The DRUpal SHell is a command line tool ‣ Quickly do all the things that normally take many, many clicks within the Drupal UI and/or FTP ‣ Can be extended by modules or themes ‣ Can be scripted to do seemingly endless taskshttp://drupal.org/project/drush

What is drush make?http://drupal.org/project/drush_make

What is drush make? ‣ “Drush make is an extension to drush that can create a ready-to-use drupal site, pulling sources from various locations. It does this by parsing a flat text file (similar to a drupal .info file) and downloading the sources it describes.” ‣ It’s a macro for installing Drupalhttp://drupal.org/project/drush_make

A complex makeﬁle

A complex makefile‣ This makefile uses Pressflow, specific module versions with patches, external libraries, and Github repos – all into one makefile.‣ It might error out, but it never screws up the way a human often will (i.e. without admitting it)‣ http://drupalcode.org/project/brightcove_recorder.git/blob_plain/ 9286c8354ab74b779b3c6260bbda48f74311451e:/examples/brightcove_recorder_quickstart.make
