Package import using drush

The Site Studio Sync sub module provides an import command that allows package imports from specified or default location. Both individual and full packages are supported:

$ drush sync:import

This command has the following options:

• --overwrite-all - Overwrite existing entities when differences detected
• --keep-all - Keep any existing entities when differences detected
• --path[=PATH] - Specify path to a directory containing package files. If this option is omitted, command defaults to value set in $settings['site_studio_sync'].
• --force - Force importing entities even if this will break content (eg. skip validation warnings)

Example

To import all previously exported *.package.yml_ files from your sync directory into the current site, use the following drush command:

$ drush sync:import --overwrite-all

 

Example

To deploy a specific *.package.yml file via drush, you can specify a local or remote file path like this:

$ drush sync:import --path=/path/to/local.package.yml --overwrite-all

$ drush sync:import --path=http://domain.com/remote.package.yml --overwrite-all
