This command runs on the before_wp_load hook, just before the WP load process begins. Helpful for diagnostic purposes, this command shares:
  • OS information.
  • Shell information.
  • PHP binary used.
  • PHP binary version.
  • php.ini configuration file used (which is typically different than web).
  • WP-CLI root dir: where WP-CLI is installed (if non-Phar install).
  • WP-CLI global config: where the global config YAML file is located.
  • WP-CLI project config: where the project config YAML file is located.
  • WP-CLI version: currently installed version.
See config docs for more details on global and project config YAML files.
