Welcome to WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They’re one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what theyāve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/.! We appreciate you sharing your time with 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’d love to help you submit at least one pull request, so we put together this guide to make it as straightforward as possible. We’re here to support you however we can.
When you submit your pull request, add `Related https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/5985` so we can see all pull requests created during the day. We’ll give these some special promotion in the next release notes.

Getting Started
If you normally use WP-CLI on your web host or via Brew, you’re most likely using the Phar executable. The Phar executable is the “built”, single-file version of WP-CLI. It’s compiled from a couple dozen repositories in the WP-CLI GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the āpull requestā where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ organization, so modifying WP-CLI requires working amongst those repositories.
Before you can work on WP-CLI, you’ll need to first make sure you have PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php. and a functioning MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system. A database is a structured collection of data where content, configuration and other options are stored. https://www.mysql.com/. or MariaDB server. Once those prerequisites are met, install the wp-cli-dev
development environment to start contributing:
git clone https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-dev
cd wp-cli-dev
composer install
The wp-cli-dev
installation process clones all of WP-CLI’s repositories to your local machine. After it’s complete, you’ll be able to make changes in whichever repository you’d like. However, you’ll need to fork the repository and add it as a remote in order to push your feature branch.
All WP-CLI pull requests are expected to have tests. See running and writing tests for a complete introduction.
