The command line for WordPress. No browser required.

Visit WP-CLI

WP-CLI provides terminal commands for WordPress administration tasks that would otherwise be done in the browser admin. It supports automation through deploy pipelines, GitHub Actions, and cron jobs, and offers extensibility via custom commands and a community package index. The project has been maintained by WordPress community volunteers since 2011.
