Terminus is a Drush-based CLI interface into the Pantheon core API via a pseudoproxy.
Terminus is being developed initially to support some engineering and partner edge cases (DevOps shops, Kalabox, proviso), but we hope to make it a solid tool for all command-line and script-savvy developers.
If you'd like to write your own code using Terminus as an example, other PHP libraries can be used to make direct API calls.
See drush help --filter=terminus for a list of commands, and visit the
Pantheon Helpdesk Article on Terminus
for detailed help.
Travis CI status:
- Drush 5.1 or higher - https://github.com/drush-ops/drush
- PHP 5.3.3 or higher with cURL
Terminus should be installed and updated using git and Composer.
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, and Terminus can be found in the main Composer repository Packagist as pantheon-systems/terminus
The easiest way to install Composer for *nix (including Mac):
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
More detailed installation instructions for multiple platforms can be found in the Composer Documentation.

# Symbolically link Terminus directory to make it available to drush
ln -s $HOME/Projects/terminus $HOME/.drush/terminus
# Clear Drush's cache.
drush cc drush
Terminus includes a number of Unit Tests for automated quality assurance. If you add or modify functionality, please include test coverage as well.
