HelloPack CLI commands

What is WP-CLI?

WP-CLI is the command-line interface for WordPress. Whatever you would normally do in the admin area, you can do from the command line: install, update, configure and maintain your site. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

HelloPack CLI commands

The plugin adds three groups of commands:

Licencewp hellopack license

Pluginswp hellopack plugin

Themeswp hellopack theme

First: is the package manager working?

Before running commands, run the built-in tester. In the dashboard’s left sidebar click HelloPack, then Help in the top-right corner. If everything is fine, you will see this:
