mamp-cli

What is it?

A command line interface for working with MAMP. It can start and stop your MAMP, but also easily switch the document root so that you can switch projects easily by using a favorite list.

Warning

Please backup your httpd.conf file of your MAMP before using this script. It can be found here:

/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

Requirements

• MAMP (tested with 3.0.7.3)
• Node.js

How it works

• it uses the MAMP bash scripts in /Applications/MAMP/bin to start and stop the server
• it overwrites the httpd.conf to change the document root
• it creates a ~/.mamp-cli file to track a favorite list of document roots

Installation

$ npm install -g mamp-cli

Depending on your setup you might need sudo in front of this command.

Usage

Use this to print the help:

$ mamp

Available Commands

$ mamp start
// start the server

$ mamp stop
// stop the server

$ mamp restart

$ mamp list

$ mamp add <shortcut>

$ mamp remove <shortcut>
