Creating our first project

Generating a site

First of all, create your new project folder and get into it:

mkdir my-project && cd my-project

Generate your new project files by executing the following Yeoman command and following the instructions given by the generator.

yo humpback

Generate the Drupal settings file

Our next step is pretty easy, we need to generate the Drupal settings files, Humpback provides a command to generate them in the right place, the command is:

ahoy site local-settings

Prepare your local site

Now we need to download the contrib modules, patches, Drupal core and other required libraries to execute our site and work with it. In order to do so you'll have to run:

ahoy composer install

npm install

Turn on your new beast

First we need to "turn on" all the docker containers that will provide us all the awesome features that Humpback has. If it is the first time that you execute this command for your project, it will probably take some time, because it needs to download all the docker images and configure them. You'll have to run the command:

ahoy up

Install the Drupal site

Now we need to install Drupal in our environment. To install it, Humpback provides a command, this command can be executed as many times as needed. It is responsible of:

• Wipe existing data base tables.
• Run the Drupal installation process.
• Import all the existing configuration.

To do this, you just need to execute:

ahoy site install

This command will install Drupal using the default installation profile; but if you need to use other profile you can go and see Using different installation profile

Get your brand new site URL

Humpback provides beautiful URLs for the sites that are generated with it, to get your site URL execute:

ahoy docker url

And that's it!! Now you have a totally functional Drupal site working with Humpback.
