Switchboard is an application for coordinating between local development and third-party hosts.

Switchboard

Switchboard is a application for coordinating between local environments and third-party hosts. Switchboard gets information about remote sites, sets up local sites, and can be used to synchronize content between the local and remote.

Switchboard uses Drush for validation and input. All commands can respond with Drush format (default), or with JSON output using option --json.

Switchboard currently supports operations on both Acquia and Pantheon sites. Switchboard is not intended as a replacement for either Acquia Drush commands or Pantheon's Terminus; those tools are designed for performing remote site operations.

Switchboard is being actively developed to support Kalabox, an integrated workflow solution for Drupal developers.

Development of Switchboard is being generously sponsored by Kalamuna.
