A new command landed in WP-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/ a few days ago, called shell. It was inspired by an older project called wpshell.
When you run wp shell, a REPL will start, in which you can run any WordPress function.
The major advantage over wp eval and wp eval-file is that it’s interactive: you immediately see the result of the previous command; it’s also stored in the special $_ variable, which you can use in the next command and so on.
Here’s a contrived example session:
scribu@air:~/wp/core$ wp shell
Type "exit" to close session.
wp> get_bloginfo('wpurl')
'http://wp.dev/core'
wp> $_ . '/feed/'
'http://wp.dev/core/feed/'
wp> exit
scribu@air:~/wp/core$
wp shell will be available in the 0.7 release of WP-CLI, but if you want to try it out right now, clone the latest version from github GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
