Automate Drupal Profile Installation with a Bash Script
AI Generated Image

Mark Conroy's blog post "A bash Script to Install Different Drupal Profiles the Easy Way" addresses the repetitive nature of installing and reinstalling Drupal profiles, especially for developers contributing to Drupal core or specific distributions like LocalGov Drupal. Mark shares a bash script he developed to streamline this process by providing six profile options: Standard, Umami, LocalGov, LocalGov with Demo Content, LocalGov Microsites, and LocalGov with Elections. 

The script automates the installation, configuration export, and Git commits, significantly reducing the time spent on manual setups. This solution is particularly useful for tasks that require frequent Drupal installations, such as testing and module development. Mark's approach enhances efficiency by allowing developers to choose and install profiles interactively or via command-line arguments.
