Shopware CLI

General

Shopware offers the possibility to execute some functions via the console. The so-called "CLI" commands can be executed outside of script limitations (example: script runtime of the server) and are therefore recommended when processing large amounts of data. These commands are executed directly in the server's console, e.g. an SSH connection can be used for this purpose. Under Windows, for example, the programme "PuTTY", which is available free of charge, can be used for this; MacOS and Linux users can establish an SSH connection directly in the terminal.

After you have established the SSH connection, change to the Shopware installation directory.
There you can execute the commands as follows

php bin/console <command>

In this article we will explain the most important commands in more detail.
You can obtain a list of all commands by entering


php bin/console list

You can access the general help page for the CLI commands via


php bin/console --help

to call up the command. There is also a separate help page for most commands. You can call this up via


php bin/console <command> --help
