Available commands

The Joomla CLI offers a long list of commands. To explore this list, type php joomla.php list in your Terminal and press Enter.

You will be provided with the list of available commands. This will look as follows:

Table 11.1 – List of CLI commands

The CLI commands listed in Table 11.1 can be launched from the terminal by preceding them with the php joomla.php command, as shown in the following example:

php joomla.php cache:clean

After executing this command, the system will prompt us with the result of the operation, as shown in Figure 11.4:
