This project provides Powershell commands for working with the Drupal 8 CLI (drush and the drupal console).

Currently this project exposes 2 commands drush and drupal which invoke drush and the drupal console respectively. These commands will search the working directory hierarchy to find the drush and drupal console scripts, in a similar way to how drush launcher works.

This requires that Drupal 8 has been installed using Composer.

To get started, install the posh-drupal module from the Powershell Gallery:

install-module posh-drupal

Once installed, import the module (you can add this in your Powershell profile):

import-module posh-drupal

The following commands will now be available in your shell:

drush
drupal
New-Drupal

Note that the New-Drupal function just returns an instance of the Drupal class which encapsulates the logic for finding a drupal installation in a directory's hierarchy. It is used internally by the drush and drupal functions.

These commands assume that the php executable is available in your path. If you want to force use of a specific PHP executable, then add the following to your profile:

$global:DrupalSettings.PhpExecutable = 'C:\PHP72\php.exe'
