Example
Drush status
drush status
This will give you an overview of your Drupal site. Version, URI, database location, file paths, default theme etc. If you use this command and you do not see this information, it means you are in a wrong folder and Drush does not know which Drupal site you are referring to.
Resetting password for any user
drush upwd admin --password="newpassword"
Where "admin" is an existing username and "newpassword" is the desired password.
Generate a one time use admin login URL
drush uli
Generates a URL which can be used to login into the admin section. The URL has a one time use token. The result should look like this:
http://example.com/user/reset/1/1469178712/MEn1QOXo3YGKAUHCknFQF0rEPJ_itkS-a6I8LJwaNYs/login
Sometimes the hostname or IP is not resolvable, and the result is a warning like this:
default does not appear to be a resolvable hostname or IP, not starting browser. [warning]
You may need to use the --uri option in your command or site alias to indicate
the correct URL of this site.
http://default/user/reset/1/1469178629/-zFS_0u8is2N2uCKuLUdGBpJ3cZzV9am5_irsbtVAOs/login
The solution is using the "--url" parameter like the following example:
drush uli --uri="http://example.com/"
Clearing the caches
drush cache-rebuild
Rebuilds the cache for Drupal 8. For drupal 7, you can use
drush cache-clear
These commands are also available shorter with
drush cr
or
drush cc // optionally pass all to clear all the caches
Enable modules
drush pm-enable mymodule
Enable 'mymodule' like activating a module in the admin interface
These commands are also available shorter with
drush en mymodule // optionally pass the -y option to avoid the interactive question
Mainteneace
To enable the maintenance mode using Drush you can use this command:
drush vset maintenance_mode 1 // pass 0 to disable the maintenance
Remember to clear the caches after you have enabled / disabled the maintenance mode.
