If you regularly run and set up the Magento 2 website, you will need to use the SSH and CLI commands. The commands in Magento are quite a few, and you’ll probably miss out on some useful ones.
I have compiled all the commands in Magento 2 SSH/CLI Commands List. You can bookmark this post, so you can refer to it every time you need it.
Below, you’ll find the list of all important Magento 2 SSH / CLI commands that you’ll often need when working on a project.
