cwp plugins snapshot

cwp plugins snapshot [env] [flags]

Acts on the local site unless an environment is named.

Argument	What it is	Default
[env]	environment to read (omit for the local site)

Plus the shared flags --json, --verbose and --dry-run.

What it does

Writes plugins.yml from what is installed on the site, and touches nothing else.

Read-only against the site, so pointing it at production is safe and is often the right move: cwp plugins snapshot prod records what production actually has, which is the thing a fresh clone needs to reproduce.

Example

cwp plugins snapshot        # record what is installed locally
cwp plugins snapshot prod   # …or what production has

What it does not do

It writes nothing to the site — not an install, not an activation. The only file it changes is plugins.yml in your repository.

It records no plugin under a tracked path, no must-use plugin and no drop-in.
