WP-CLI is the command-line interface for WordPress. It allows you to manage your WordPress site from the command line without using a web browser. I currently use WP-CLI to temporarily disable the WordPress Google Authenticator plugin, create and configure a version of this site to run in a local AMP environment on my Mac and periodically change the posts that appear in the slider on this site’s home page.

Your Mac’s network name forms part of its network address. If you want to share your Mac’s files and folders with other computers on your network you’ll need to know its network address so that those other computers can connect to it.

I had a situation where I needed to pass code to Python in the form of a single command instead of a script file. While this is easily done by invoking Python in command mode, the code contained a conditional statement that caused Python to throw an error.
The one thing that trips me up time and again when using the command line in Terminal or other terminal emulator is being able to navigate the directory structure and target files or folders. After struggling getting the correct file or folder path I’m usually greeted with No such file or directory reminding me that the command line doesn’t like spaces in file and folder paths.
With that in mind here are a few ways to enter file and folder paths on the command line.
