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@8.0.4

Or 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-update puts
    wp-cli-update and wp-find on 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 — and exec the script with the arguments it was given. The
    licence is PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, os is linux (the tool needs bash 4.2 and
    GNU coreutils; macOS ships bash 3.2), and files is a whitelist, so the archive holds
    the scripts, the config example, contrib/, install.sh and 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.md section 3 lists three routes (npm, install.sh, by hand) and says what the
    npm route does not do; AGENTS.md section 3 does the same for an agent.
  • .gitignore no longer ignores bin/: it now holds the shims, and a shim that is not
    committed cannot be published.
