TYPO3 Console (helhum/typo3-console) provides a clean way to register commands and a sane way to call these commands through a command line tool called typo3cms.

It ships many commands to execute TYPO3 actions, which otherwise would only be accessible via the TYPO3 backend. This makes TYPO3 Console a perfect companion for development, deployment, Docker setups, continuous integration workflows or anything else where automation is required or beneficial.

Examples for such commands are:

• typo3cms install:setup to completely set up TYPO3 from command line
• typo3cms upgrade:run to execute upgrades from command line
• typo3cms extension:setupactive to set up all active extensions (database schema update, data import, …)

and the features include:

• TYPO3 installation and upgrades from command line
• Flexible bootstrap for commands (not every command needs a fully bootstrapped framework)
• Reliable cache flush commands
• Many commands useful for deployment
• Support for Symfony commands registered within TYPO3 extensions and Composer packages
