Over time, lots of console scripts related to the repository were created, either in tutorials or packages: creating content, removing subtrees, navigating the content tree, inspecting content types...

As suggested by andre.romcke@ez.no, those are actually very useful. They could be grouped into a package (suggestion: ezsystems/repository-console-scripts) for the time being. Having that package would give us a first step, open up contributions by 3rd parties, and allow us to iterate further.

Future

This is probably not the final shape of ezplatform console scripts, as various aspects of this will have to be reconsidered:

• the scripts may belong next to what they are scripts for (the repository)
• the input format should be unified for consistency
• the output should be flexible enough to accommodate for system tools such as awk, cut... to allow for batching and automation.

Tasks

• Create the specification document
