## Workshop "WP-CLI - How to manage WordPress from the command-line"
@ [WordCamp Europe 2021](https://europe.wordcamp.org/2021/session/wp-cli-how-to-manage-wordpress-from-the-command-line/)
WP-CLI is the official command-line interface for WordPress. It provides a collection of commands that can be used to perform various WordPress actions such as plugin & theme installations, core updates, configurations or backups without using a browser.
In this workshop, I will teach you the basics of WP-CLI and present useful commands to learn more about this powerful WordPress management and development tool. This workshop is aimed at beginner & advanced WordPress users who are not familiar with the command line yet and are looking for an easy way to get started.
