Alain Schlesser und die WP-CLI
A German-language conversation on what WP-CLI is and how it grew up. Alain covers the move from a one-maintainer project under Daniel Bachhuber to an official, sponsor-funded WordPress.org team, plus the package manager that lets the community ship custom commands.
Recorded for the German podcast PressWerk (Folge 32), this episode introduces WP-CLI as the bridge between WordPress core and the command line, and the automation it unlocks across many installations at once. Alain explains the project’s governance and funding model, its semantic-versioning approach, and how version 1.2 split commands into installable packages via wp package install.
