Installing WP-CLI locally
WP-CLI is a command line interface for WordPress that allows users to manage WordPress sites from the terminal. It includes commands for core downloads, plugin and theme installation, search and replace, and more. WP-CLI can be installed locally for development sites to run commands directly from the terminal. Configuration files like config.yml allow setting global or local options, and aliases let users run commands across multiple sites simultaneously. Resources for getting started with WP-CLI include the documentation site and guides on configuration, Mac setup, and automating tasks with aliases.
