While I had some time, I thought I might create a post for some composer and drush commands that I use A LOT… just for a reference.
This list is for Drupal 8/Drush 9.
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
| $ drush cr | Clears cache (duh; you use this 1239832 times a day) |
| $ drush en coder | Enable a module (ex. coder) |
| $ drush pmu coder | Disable a module (ex. coder) |
| $ composer require drupal/coder | Install a module (ex. coder) |
| $ composer remove drupal/coder | Uninstall a module (ex. coder); disable it first! |

| $ composer update | Update Drupal 8 core & modules |
| $ drush updb | Update the database after a Drupal core and/or module update (duh; do this after you run composer update; same as going to update.php) |
| $ drush status | Tells you important information such as Drupal version, Drush version, etc. |
| $ drush sqlc | Get into the database (MySQL) easy |
