Content Hub

Using Drush with Content Hub

Important

Content Hub 2.x will reach end-of-life on December 31, 2024. Acquia recommends that you update your Content Hub version to Content Hub 3.x by using the composer require instructions available on the acquia_contenthub project page.

Content Hub includes several Drush commands for both normal product use and for more advanced administration. You can use the commands to administer your content from the command line. For more information about Drush, see Introduction to Drush.

Note

Drush versions 10.3.3 and later have enhanced queue handling that improves the export and import processes in Content Hub.
