Drush

I found a really nice way of packaging up drush as a debian package without having to go through all the hassle of creating all the files for a “true” debian package. You’ll need the following: Git Composer FPM gem You can then run the following commands to setup your base environment for packaging: 1 2 3 4 git clone git@github.com:drush-ops/drush.git cd drush composer install sudo gem install fpm To test to make sure your latest master copy of drush is working quickly run either drush or drush —version...

Recently I had to work on a server that was heavily restricted by a third party company. They were using an archaic version of drush so I decided to change it! I have no access to sudo or any form of root account, this made things even more interesting. No wget either. Download drush 6.2.0 to local machine Download console_table 1.1.3 (has to be this version) scp both drush and console_table to remote server unzip drush to ~/drush-6....

This has always bugged me, you can’t easily download Drupal to your current directory using drush. After a quick search I found this issue - https://drupal.org/node/495438 The following command works well - drush dl -d --destination=".." --drupal-project-rename="$(basename `pwd`)" So what’s it doing? –destination - specifies where to download Drupal to –drupal-project-rename - renames the downloaded directory to your current directory
