![Drush (cont.)
● Some of the most used commands:
$ drush cc [all] (clear all caches)
$ drush dl [module_name]
$ drush en [module_name]
$ drush updb (run update.php)
$ drush sql-cli (login to mysql)
$ drush sql-connect (show mysql connection string)
$ drush uli [username] (user login)
$ drush sa (show site aliases)
$ drush @acquia.prod cc all (clear caches on acquia)
$ drush up [module_name] (update modules)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/webinar2016-03-02commandline-160303193540/85/How-to-Use-the-Command-Line-to-Increase-Speed-of-Development-11-320.jpg)
![Drush (cont.)
● Some Drupal 8 changes & additions:
$ drush cc all (clear all caches)
=> drush cr (cache rebuild)
$ drush dis [module_name] (disable module)
=> drush pm-uninstall (also used in D7 & below)
$ drush config-export / cex (export config)
$ drush config-import / cim (import config)
$ drush config-pull (copy config to new env)
$ drush up drupal!!
and many, many more...
$ drush
$ drush help [command]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/webinar2016-03-02commandline-160303193540/85/How-to-Use-the-Command-Line-to-Increase-Speed-of-Development-12-320.jpg)
![File Editing
● Vi (Vim), Nano, Emacs, etc.
● Personal favorite is nano
● Similar commands like DOS editors: Ctrl-[key]
● No typing : before commands
● Tip: show line numbers all the time (else nano -c)
.nanorc:
set const
● Some people use Vim for all editing, instead of an IDE
like PHPStorm](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/webinar2016-03-02commandline-160303193540/85/How-to-Use-the-Command-Line-to-Increase-Speed-of-Development-14-320.jpg)

- 2. About Me ● Dave Myburgh ● Team lead for www.acquia.com, training, dev, engage ● Most recently worked on docs D6 -> D8 update ● 10 years of Drupal ● First site in 4.7 and it's still running :) ● Started on PC, now on Mac ● From DOS to Terminal (autoexec.bat to .bash_profile)
- 3. What we will cover ● Pimp out that prompt for Git ● Bash profile ● Aliases ● Drush ● File editing ● SASS & Compass ● Drupal 8 & Composer
- 4.

- 6. Bash profile ● .bash_profile on Mac, .bash_rc on Linux ● aliases e.g. alias l="ls =al" ● directory listing colors e.g. export LSCOLORS=GxFxCxDxBxegedabagacad ● setting paths to programs: export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Dev Desktop/drush"
- 7. Bash profile (cont.) ● custom functions Convert an mp4 video file into an mp3: mp4-mp3() { # ${1%.*} returns only the filename, not the extension. ffmpeg -i "$1" -f mp3 -ab 192000 -vn "${1%.*}".mp3 } ● lots more out there: http://blog.taylormcgann.com/2012/06/13/customize-your-shell-command-prompt

- 9. Drush ● The Drupal shell (http://www.drush.org) ● command line shell and scripting interface ● ships with lots of useful commands ● Drupal modules can add more commands e.g. Backup & Migrate ● THE most useful command line utility for Drupal
- 10. Drush (cont.) ● Two main ways to get it: ○ Acquia Dev Desktop (Mac & Win) ○ install globally for your computer via command line: $ wget http://files.drush.org/drush.phar $ chmod +x drush.phar $ sudo mv drush.phar /usr/local/bin/drush ● http://docs.drush.org/en/master/install for more help
- 11. Drush (cont.) ● Some of the most used commands: $ drush cc [all] (clear all caches) $ drush dl [module_name] $ drush en [module_name] $ drush updb (run update.php) $ drush sql-cli (login to mysql) $ drush sql-connect (show mysql connection string) $ drush uli [username] (user login) $ drush sa (show site aliases) $ drush @acquia.prod cc all (clear caches on acquia) $ drush up [module_name] (update modules)

- 14. File Editing ● Vi (Vim), Nano, Emacs, etc. ● Personal favorite is nano ● Similar commands like DOS editors: Ctrl-[key] ● No typing : before commands ● Tip: show line numbers all the time (else nano -c) .nanorc: set const ● Some people use Vim for all editing, instead of an IDE like PHPStorm
- 15. SASS & Compass ● Syntactically Awesome StyleSheets ● extension of CSS, so regular CSS is 100% valid ● get to use variables, nested rules, mixins (functions) ● files use .scss extension ● create separate files for regions/content types/whatever and they all get loaded by one file ● http://sass-lang.com ● https://smacss.com (scalable and modular architecture)
- 16. SASS & Compass (cont.) ● Compass is a CSS authoring framework that uses SASS ● provides many useful mixins (functions) ● basically, it compiles your SASS files into actual CSS ● compass watch will monitor changes to your .scss files and rebuild the .css file ● requires Ruby and a config.rb file in theme folder ● http://compass-style.org
- 17. SASS & Compass (cont.) Example: sass/style.scss: @import 'components/base'; sass/components/_base.scss: $blue: #29aee1; a { color: $blue; &:hover { color: darken($blue, 10%); } }
- 18. SASS & Compass (cont.) Example: styles/style.css: a { color: #29aae1; } a:hover { color: #1a90bd; } $ compass watch (to constantly monitor for changes) $ compass compile (to manually update changes)
- 19. SASS & Compass (cont.) ● SO much more... ● https://rvm.io/rvm/install (Ruby installation via RVM) ● http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation (regular Ruby install) ● http://sass-lang.com ● http://compass-style.org ● https://smacss.com
- 20. Drupal 8 & Composer ● new way of managing site dependencies ● Composer Manager module is a helper module with a Drupal UI too (requires Composer command-line tool: https://getcomposer.org) ● can replace drush make or work with it ● some modules now use composer for their dependencies - look for composer.json file ● https://www.drupal. org/documentation/install/composer-dependencies
- 21. Drupal 8 & Composer (cont.) ● so what's the workflow with composer? ● recommended to install composer_manager module, which will automatically update root composer.json with a module's requirements: $ drush dl composer_manager $ php modules/composer_manager/scripts/init.php ● then download your module(s) and run: $ composer drupal-update ● all dependencies, including core, will get updated
- 22. Drupal 8 & Composer (cont.) ● without Composer Manager, you can manually edit root composer.json to add modules, run composer update to then download the module and its dependencies ● Note: vendor directory will get updated often! Don't worry, those dependencies are restricted to certain versions in core/composer.json, so things won't break e.g. "jcalderonzumba/mink-phantomjs-driver": "~0.3.1", (i.e. >=0.3.1 and <0.4)
