Bash WP-CLI Update 8.0.4
Distribution release. The manager, the finder and every mode are exactly what 8.0.3
shipped; the tool is now also installable from npm.
npm install -g bash-wp-cli-update@8.0.4Or take the archive below: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS in the download directory reports OK.
[8.0.4 / 2.1.0] - 2026-10-21
Distribution release. Nothing in the manager, the finder or any mode changed; the tool is
now also installable from npm.
Added
- npm package
bash-wp-cli-update.npm install -g bash-wp-cli-updateputs
wp-cli-updateandwp-findon PATH. The package ships the two scripts unchanged plus
two shims (bin/wp-cli-update,bin/wp-find) that resolve their own real path — npm
installs them as symlinks — andexecthe script with the arguments it was given. The
licence is PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0,osislinux(the tool needs bash 4.2 and
GNU coreutils; macOS ships bash 3.2), andfilesis a whitelist, so the archive holds
the scripts, the config example,contrib/,install.shand the documentation — 18
files, 107 kB. - npm does not install WP-CLI and runs nothing at install time: it is a delivery channel,
not an installer. Root is still needed at run time, because the manager switches into
the owner of every site.
Changed
README.mdsection 3 lists three routes (npm,install.sh, by hand) and says what the
npm route does not do;AGENTS.mdsection 3 does the same for an agent..gitignoreno longer ignoresbin/: it now holds the shims, and a shim that is not
committed cannot be published.
