# WP-CLI Hack Day

We’re currently planning the first ever **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/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/)
Hack Day**! 🤓🎈

On 🗓 **Friday, 20th July 2018** we’ll officially kick off the WP-CLI Hack Day at
🕗 **08:00 CEST**. From that point on, I’ll be generally available in [Slack #cli channel](https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/C02RP4T41)
and on the [GitHub `wp-cli` organization](https://github.com/wp-cli/) to onboard
new contributors, help people pick issues to work on and remove hurdles that keep
them from finishing their PRs. This will continue more or less without interruption
during the entire event.

From 🕓 **16:00-18:00 CEST** we’ll have an open video chat that everyone can join,
where we can discuss remaining issues live and chat about the progress we’ve made.
This extended video chat session will then conclude the event. Shortly after 🕕 **
18:00 CEST**, I will post a [make/cli](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/) blog post
about the progress we were able to make during the allotted time frame.

The 🎯 **goal** for this first WP-CLI Hack Day is both simple and ambitious:

**Finish the day with 2️⃣0️⃣ pull requests that have been merged during the event
❗️**

Everyone is welcome to participate! This event is supposed to be fun and inspiring,
and we expect people to help each other make progress along the way.

 

**Let’s make this happen! 👍**

 
 **Update**: the official hashtag for the event is [#hackwpcli](https://twitter.com/hashtag/hackwpcli?src=hash)
📣

_**Note on times:**_

The times are in CEST timezone to fit my schedule. ( ⇒ [See time range and copy into calendar](https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=2950159,5391959,1850147&h=2950159&date=2018-7-20&sln=8-18))

I’m fully aware this is not ideal for everyone around the globe. Hopefully, this
first try at such an event will be a big success, and we’ll try it again with more
helpers and an extended time zone at a later date.

 6.  Great one! Let’s hack the CLICLI Command Line Interface. Terminal (Bash) in Mac,
     Command Prompt in Windows, or WP-CLI for WordPress. 😀 (oh wait, that turned out
     wrong)
 7.  I have no idea about number of interested contributors from local community here,
     but we will try to support it and promote it.

      Also mark that on my calendar 
     to avoid other stuff 🙂
