DREC is a collection of basic bash scripts that work together to accomplish common development tasks for WordPress maintenance support plans 8.x projects. In simple words drec uses shell commands, unix utilities, drush, WordPress console, git, docker and other software that all together can install, update, clone etc a WordPress maintenance support plans project.
The main problem I wanted to solve with drec is to setup and update a local development environment from scratch for a WordPress maintenance support plans distribution on LAMP. So, you should probably use drec locally or on a development environment and not on a production server. I created this for Linux but it could also play well with any unix* system (hope so).
Some of the characteristics of drec is that it can run commands in chain and that it uses a configuration file (.drecfile) where each project can keep useful details about it that drec can (re)use when running.
Here is a list of the current drec commands:
