Good first issues for new contributors

Want to submit your first pull request to 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/? We’ve identified a few good first issues for you to get your feet wet:

  • Link to code review guidelines from PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE
    We’ve published code review guidelines that now need to be incorporated into our PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE scaffolding. This issue involves a one-line change to a template file.
  • List dropin plugins in wp plugin list
    For those using a db.phpobject-cache.php, or similar, it’d be helpful to display them when running wp plugin list. This issue involves writing a bit of code with Behat functional tests around the behavior.
  • Add pre-built dictionary of “did you mean…” suggestions
    When a user mistypes a command argument, WP-CLI tries to suggest the correct argument. In certain cases, the algorithm needs enhancement from a dictionary of pre-defined corrections. This issue involves reviewing WP-CLI command arguments, writing a bit of code to produce a dictionary around the most sensible corrections, and enhancing our existing PHPUnit tests for the feature.
  • Handle all cases for Utils\wp_version_compare()
    As it turns out, WordPress has some version strings that version_compare() can’t handle. Our existing utility is inadequate for all of the cases, so we should update. This issue involves tracking down all potential version strings, writing a bit of code, and enhancing our existing PHPUnit tests for the feature.
  • Explain why certain tables can be skipped when using wp search-replace
    There are a couple of cases, indicated in the issue, where tables can be skipped or “missed” entirely. This issue involves adding some explanation of these cases to the existing command documentation.
