Magento 2 Useful Commands List

Posted on 2 November, 2018

If you are like most of the developers, you will have juggled through different websites to find SSH / CLI commands for Magento 2. There is no single resource on web which has all useful commands list for Magento 2. I have been there and I know it is a sheer waste of time juggling through different sites. So, to save your time, I have compiled a list of most useful commands for Magento 2 in a single note for all the developers.

Below is the list of most important SSH / CLI commands for Magento 2 that I have found useful. To use these commands you will need to have SSH access to your server or use the Command Line for local access.
