Happy release day!

Today, I’m excited to bring you WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is http://wp-cli.org/ https://make.wordpress.org/cli/ v1.1.0, chock full of enhancements and bug fixes.

Want to get props in the next release? There are a few projects we’ll be working on:

• Creating a new WPorg home for wp-cli.org/commands and wp-cli.org/docs/internal-api [meta#2465]
• Splitting internal commands into distinct packages [#3728]
• Transforming some ideas into working prototypes.

And, in case you missed it: I’m looking for help maintaining WP-CLI (paid opportunity, commitment of 5-10 hours/week).
