Have you ever tried to automate WordPress upgrade tasks or deployments? I did, it was a big pain.
Sometimes I would find myself updating WordPress options on 54 different blogs trough the admin interface. Completely tired of it I created a little tool to automate these kind of things trough the command line interface (like every self respecting developer would do). The wp-cli project was born.
Why did I started a new project instead of modifying one of the available tools?
My code is inspired on some of them but they all missed one essential concept: pluggability. You can add commands to wp-cli from anywhere in WordPress on the fly, which allows anyone to take full advantage of the command line interface.
Shortly after my first batch of commits @scribu picked up the project and added some great functionality and insights. Today multiple people are contributing to the project and I hope plugin developers will pick it up in the near future.
