Example

init-drupal axelerant/site --cache redis --core

The above command will generate a composer.json and in a drupal directory and run composer install. It will use the regular drupal/core package along with the Redis module and few other packages.

init-lando

(Requires Python 3.6+)

Scaffold Lando configuration for a Drupal site in the current directory.

Usage for init-lando

usage: init-lando

No options are required. The tool reads the composer.json file and sets up the Lando configuration accordingly. It also sets up a settings.lando.php file to include Lando specific database and caching configuration.

Lando support can also be added when running init-drupal by passing the --lando argument.
