REQUIRED BACKGROUND: Load govard-toolbox first — this skill only covers Magento-specific shortcuts layered on top of Govard's base environment commands.

This skill covers only container/CLI shortcuts. For module architecture, DI, and security patterns, see magento2-dev-core and magento2-backend-dev; for code quality and performance checks, see magento2-linter, magento2-security-scan, and magento2-performance-audit.

# Install crontab
govard sh -c "bin/magento cron:install"

# Remove crontab
govard sh -c "bin/magento cron:remove"

Development Tools

# Template hints (dev only)
govard sh -c "bin/magento dev:template-hints:enable"
govard sh -c "bin/magento dev:template-hints:disable"

# Query logging
govard sh -c "bin/magento dev:query-log:enable"

Database Operations

# Direct MySQL
govard db connect

# Run SQL
govard db query "SELECT * FROM m2_core_config_data WHERE path LIKE '%template%'"

# Import with streaming (fast)
govard db import --stream-db -e staging --drop

# Export from remote
govard db dump -e staging --no-noise --no-pii --local

Configuration

# Show config
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:show system/smtp/host"

# Set config
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:set web/secure/base_url https://local.test/"
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:set design/theme/theme_id 0"

# Import/export config
govard sh -c "bin/magento app:config:dump"
govard sh -c "bin/magento app:config:import"

Multi-Website / Multi-Store Setup

Register additional store domains in .govard.yml under store_domains, then let Govard wire up the vhost/DNS side:

domain: "primary.test"
store_domains:
  brand-b.test:
    code: base
    type: website

govard domain add brand-b.test
govard config auto
govard sh -c "bin/magento cache:flush"

Store codes are also selectable via URL path (/fr/, /admin/) without a separate domain — reserve store_domains for genuinely separate hostnames/websites.

Redis Cache

# Flush Redis cache only
govard redis flush

# Redis CLI
govard redis cli

# Check cache info
govard redis info

Varnish (if configured)

# Purge all
govard varnish purge

# Purge by tag
govard sh -c "bin/magento cache:clean cache_tag_frontend"

# Varnish status
govard varnish status

Logging

# View system log
govard sh -c "tail -f var/log/system.log"

# View exception log
govard sh -c "tail -f var/log/exception.log"

# View debug log
govard sh -c "tail -f var/log/debug.log"

# Custom module log
govard sh -c "tail -f var/log/my-module.log"

Common Issues & Solutions

| Symptom | Fix | |---|---| | "There are no commands defined" after pulling code | govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:di:compile" | | Static assets not updating | govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f" + cache:flush, then hard-refresh the browser | | Database connection refused | govard ps (is the DB container up?), govard logs db, then govard down && govard up if needed | | Container won't start | govard doctor, then govard logs | | Xdebug not connecting | govard debug on, confirm the IDE is listening on port 9003, check the XDEBUG_SESSION cookie matches .govard.yml — see govard-toolbox for the full IDE setup |

Template-only changes don't need setup:di:compile — only setup:static-content:deploy. Recompiling DI on every template edit wastes time for no benefit.

Common Workflows

After Pulling Code

govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:upgrade --keep-generated"
govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f"
govard sh -c "bin/magento cache:flush"

After Database Sync

govard config auto   # Rebuild env.php
govard sh -c "bin/magento cache:flush"

Production Deployment Prep

govard sh -c "bin/magento maintenance:enable"
govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:upgrade"
govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:di:compile"
govard sh -c "bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f --theme=Vendor/Theme"
govard sh -c "bin/magento cache:flush"
govard sh -c "bin/magento maintenance:disable"
