I <3 Drush

May 31, 2010

Ok, I’ve just started using Drush on my latest project a few days ago.  And I LOVE IT.

This is how easy it is to download a module:

drush dl <module_name>

And this is how easy it is to install that module:

drush en <module_name>

What used to take me at least 2 minutes (download the module, unpack it, upload it to sites/all/modules, enable it), now takes literally 10 seconds.  It’s developer heaven.

But wait, it gets better - I just performed my first update of all of my site’s modules to their latest versions.  It took 1 minute.  Here is what I did:

drush pm-update

That’s it.  Are you kidding me!??!  The 1 minute was spent waiting for drush to do it’s thing (gather modules that needed updates, updating them, and then running the database update script).  AMAZING!

I <3 Drush!
