What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers developers to leverage Drush commands for efficient Drupal development, including scaffolding, self-verification, debugging, and entity operations, significantly reducing manual effort and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffolding: Generate boilerplate code for modules, controllers, forms, entities, and plugins using drush generate.
  • Self-Verification: Verify routes, services, permissions, and config using dedicated Drush commands.
  • Debugging: Utilize watchdog:show, watchdog:tail, and core:status for effective troubleshooting.
  • Entity Operations: Manage entities via the API using entity:create, entity:save, and php-eval.
  • Use Case: After creating a new content entity, use drush generate entity:content to scaffold it, then drush cr to clear caches, and finally drush route --name=my_module.entity_list to verify the new route.

Quick Start

Use drush generate to scaffold a new Drupal module called my_module.
