Good issues for new and existing 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:

• Internalize like_escape() and esc_sql() functions to avoid $wpdb dependency
  This issue involves copying some code out of WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. and replacing existing instances.
• Scenario “Export posts using –max_num_posts” fails on Mac OS X
  This issue involves updating the scenario to use the new pattern described in the referenced pull request.
• Switch all help docs to third person singular form
  The help docs for WP-CLI commands includes a mixture of first person and third person verbiage. For this issue, we need to make sure all maintained commands are in third person verbiage.
• Correctly use “installation” instead of “install” in documentation
  The word “install” is a verb. The correct word to use when referring to an instance of WordPress is “installation”. This issue will involve correcting all of these references.

If you’ve contributed to WP-CLI before, here are some reasonably well-defined issues we’d like to see pull requests for:

• Permit defining ABSPATH before WP-CLI is loaded
  It should be possible to define ABSPATH before WP-CLI is loaded. This issue involves a simple conditional check, and some Behat tests to confirm expected behavior.
• Move intra-doc links to someplace more prominent
  The top of the command documentation page is less than ideal. If you can provide better HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites., I can incorporate it into the developer theme and commit to WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/.
• Way to distinguish between a user’s direct capabilities and those inherited from their role
  wp user list-roles <user> returns both the capabilities that a user has been directly assigned, and the capabilities that they inherit from their role. For this issue, let’s add a new argument where the user can filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. to the origin of the capabilities.
• wp user remove-cap incorrectly returns success status when attempting to remove cap inherited from a role
  It should instead produce an error stating that the capability is inherited from the role. This issue will involve adding the correct logic with a corresponding functional test.
