BLT (Build and Launch Tool) provides an automation layer for testing, building, and launching Drupal 8 applications.
You can find all BLT documentation on Read the Docs:
See INSTALL.md for a list of prequisites and links to instructions for creating new projects, adding BLT to existing projects, and updating BLT.
Typically, the last two most major versions of BLT are supported actively. The newest major version will recieve both bug fixes and new features, while the penultimate major version will recieve bug fixes for at least two months. For example, if 8.8.1 is the most recent version of BLT:
| Major Version | Support Status | Drupal | Drush | Dev Status | |—————|—————————–|——–|—————-|————–| | 9.x | Supported | >=8.4 | >=9.0.0-rc2 | *active dev | | 8.9.x | LTS (see below) | <=8.4 | ~8 | bug fixes | | 8.8.x | Unsupported, EOL | <=8.3 | ~8 | | | 8.7.x | Unsupported, EOL | <=8.3 | ~8 | |
The 9.1.x branch is currently in development. It requires Drush 9 instead of Drush 8.
8.9.x is currently in maintenance / long-term support mode (receiving only bug fixes) while we focus on feature development for 9.1.x. 8.9.x will continue to be supported until the following conditions are met:
The current ETA for this cutoff is Q1 2018.
BLT is designed to improve efficiency and collaboration across Drupal projects by providing a common set of tools and standardized structure. It was born out of the need to reduce re-work, project set up time, and developer onboarding time.
Its explicit goals are to:
Its scope is discretely defined. It is not intended to provide:
local.yml
configuration, example tests, FeatureContext.php
BLT is provided as an open source tool in the hope that it will enable developers to easily generate new Drupal projects that conform to Acquia Professional Services' best practices.
