Wish you could speed up and increase the quality of your site's code management and deploys with some command line magic rather than opening up a file browser and drag and dropping to FileZilla? What if you don't have a team of 5 DevOps staff to set up the perfect continuous integration process for you? I will teach you some command line tricks you can start using immediately to improve your workflow. In this session, you will learn about:

- Tools and methodologies I have collected and developed to assist with deployments using basic command line, bash, SSH and Python scripting
- Habits for sharpening your command line skills each day you work
- Why manual deploys are DANGEROUS

A few command line necessities:
- How to set up SSH keys to login to servers without a password
- How to move files and directories using scp and rsync
- How to setup and use drush
- Handy tools like pbcopy, diff and cowsay

Then on to more advanced topics:
- How to setup a Python script to deploy Git code to servers easily
- What to do if your code breaks your live site
- Using symlinks to help manage your daily files and local dev environment
- Using 2-factor authentication to protect your deploy process
- Tools you can check out to assist with deployment
- Using grep, awk and tail to quickly filter log files

I won't cover much on the "system" side such as Jenkins CI, Aegir. If you are in a larger organization and have an experienced system administrator already, you can figure those tools out! I'll teach the building block tools that anyone can use.
