$ oc core:check-requirements

OpenCart operations, from the command line

OC-CLI gives OpenCart teams an audited Symfony Console surface for database maintenance, extensions, cache work, catalog operations, orders, and admin-user workflows. DB-native commands can run anywhere with credentials; runtime-backed commands target real OpenCart 3.x roots.

Stable commands: 29
Command families: 7
Runtime support: OpenCart 3.x
PHP floor: 7.4+

OpenCart 3.x root

$ composer global require custom-services-limited/oc-cli

Install the package and expose the `oc` binary.

$ oc db:backup nightly.sql --compress

Run DB-native maintenance with direct credentials or a detected store.

$ oc order:update-status 1 Processing

Bootstrap real OpenCart 3.x models for runtime-backed workflows.

What the current repo actually supports

The website tracks the audited command surface instead of future-roadmap copy. The important split is execution mode: database-native commands can run with DB flags, while runtime-backed commands need a real OpenCart 3.x installation root.

db:*

DB-native

Backups, checks, repair, optimize, cleanup, and config reads can run from anywhere with direct DB flags.

runtime-backed

OpenCart models

Cache, catalog, order, admin-user, and modification flows bootstrap real OpenCart 3.x code.

--format=json

Automation-ready

Read-heavy commands expose table, JSON, and YAML output for scripts, checks, and dashboards.
