Introducing 'Remote Bin Scripts' Plugin for Effortless 3rd Party Tool Installation

Staff Reporter

Jon Pugh, in a recent piece on ThinkDrop.net, introduces a new composer plugin, "Remote Bin Scripts," designed to simplify the installation of third-party tools. As part of a project transition to Pantheon, custom scripts were created to interact with the platform, requiring the Terminus CLI tool. However, Terminus's dependencies did not align with the latest Drupal sites, leading to the decision to utilize Composer to download and install it.

The "Remote Bin Scripts" plugin offers a streamlined method for installing scripts accessible by URL into the composer bin directory, optimizing the process during 'composer install' and ensuring self-containment of the site. This development aligns to provide a stable and efficient approach for developers and eliminate the need for external script installations in site operations.
