Introduction

Bee is the command line tool for Backdrop that is developed specifically for Backdrop and is being actively developed. It runs on Linux based systems (including MacOS) but not Windows.  It has a number of functions in common with Drush and Brush but there are a few key gaps.

Possible discussion points

  • What can you use Bee for in deployments?
  • Can I write my own bee commands?
  • Can I add a bee function to my module?
  • Tips for using bee in bash?
