Cake Console
Cake Console is a command-line interface (CLI) tool for the CakePHP framework, used to execute tasks such as generating code, running tests, managing databases, and performing maintenance operations. It provides a set of built-in commands and allows developers to create custom commands to automate repetitive development workflows. The tool integrates seamlessly with CakePHP applications, enabling efficient project management and development from the terminal.
Developers should learn Cake Console when working with CakePHP projects to streamline development tasks like scaffolding controllers, models, and views, running database migrations, and executing unit tests. It is essential for automating repetitive processes, improving productivity, and maintaining consistency in CakePHP applications, especially in team environments where standardized commands are crucial.
