Flush Command

Wipe the Slate Clean

Need a fresh start? The phpkg flush command clears out all files and directories created during the build process—think of it as a reset button for your builds/ directory. Whether you’re troubleshooting, cleaning up clutter, or prepping for a new build, flush gets you back to square one fast.

Usage

From your project’s root directory, run:

phpkg flush
  • What It Does: Deletes everything in builds/—all environment directories like development/ and production/.
  • After: Your builds/ directory is empty, ready for a fresh phpkg build.

Caution: This wipes all built files—back up anything you need before running it!

Why Use It?

  • Fresh Builds: Start over without leftover artifacts messing up your next phpkg build.
  • Troubleshooting: Clear corrupted or outdated builds to debug issues.
  • Clean Slate: Free up space by ditching unused environment dirs.

Check builds/ after running—it should be empty. Then, rebuild with:

phpkg build  # or phpkg build production

Tips

  • Backup First: Save custom files in builds/ (if any) before flushing—they’ll be gone.
  • Pair with Build: Use flush then build for a clean, reliable setup.
