WP-CLI commands

If you know WP-CLI, you can talk to PressHelm in it. Commands run through PressHelm's own actions, not a shell, so every change still asks for approval and can be undone.

How it works#

Send a command like wp post list --post_type=page --format=ids or wp plugin update akismet. PressHelm maps it to the action that does the same thing: reads run at once, changes ask for your approval, exactly as if you had asked in plain words. Your site needs no WP-CLI and no SSH. One command at a time; pipes, redirects and variables are not accepted.
