Next steps

Now that your new project works locally, review BLT documentation by role to learn how to perform common project tasks and integrate with third party tools.

Here are tasks that are typically performed at this stage:

• Initialize CI integration. See Continuous Integration.

    blt ci:pipelines:init
    # OR
    blt ci:travis:init
  

• Push to your upstream repo.

    git add -A
    git commit -m 'My new project is great.'
    git remote add origin [something]
    git push origin
  

• Create and deploy an artifact. See Deployment workflow.

    # Ensure git.remotes is set in project.yml
    blt deploy
  

Other commonly used commands:

    # list targets
    blt

    # validate code via phpcs, php lint, composer validate, etc.
    blt validate

    # run phpunit tests
    blt tests:phpunit

    # ssh into vm & run behat tests
    drush @[project.machine_name].local ssh
    blt tests:behat

    # diagnose issues
    blt doctor

    # download & require a new project
    composer require drupal/ctools:^8.3.0

    # build a deployment artifact
    blt deploy:build

    # build artifact and deploy to git.remotes
    blt deploy

    # update BLT
    composer update acquia/blt --with-dependencies
