Using WP-CLI to streamline WordPress

WordPress is well-designed for those allergic to the command line, yet there is a fabulous tool available for streamlining common tasks: WP-CLI, the command line interface for WordPress. I will show how to easily create a child theme, bulk import images with captions, update plugins, import and export posts, and more, without any PHP or MySQL knowledge. I will also demonstrate a workflow I use for writing posts offline in a text editor, imported into WordPress with metadata, and pushing posts from a staging server to production or vice versa using WP-CLI.
