   cd backdrop
   

2. Initialize the site

   This will initialize local settings and install the site via drush

   fin init

More automation with 'fin init'

Site provisioning can be automated using fin init, which calls the shell script in .docksal/commands/init.
This script is meant to be modified per project.

Some common tasks that can be handled in the init script:

• initialize local settings files for Docker Compose, Backdrop, Behat, etc.
• import DB or perform a site install
• compile Sass
• run DB updates, revert features, clear caches, etc.
• enable/disable modules, update variables values
• run Behat tests

Bee command included

Backdrop has a command line utility called Bee. Bee commands can be run by calling fin bee [command].
