Problem/Motivation
Working on core requires almost certainly drush or console to make it easy to reinstall the site or just install/uninstall a specific module.
At the same time, it became hard to install drush/console globally, for good reasons. They need to sync up the dependencies with core, especially when you switch from 8.3.x to 8.4.x for example.
Proposed resolution
Given that I propose to ship with command line applications for the following three tasks, which are helpful for developing on core. Note the difference to a general command line application useful for working on actual sites.
- Install drupal
- Install/uninstall a module
- Rebuild all caches
This proposal is designed to be limited in scope: Not a generic framework for commands, no discovery method ...
https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console/single_command_tool.html or http://robo.li/ might help here.
Remaining tasks
- Agree that this is useful
- Ensure that we limit the scope
- Sign off
- Implement it
- Get it in
