I compiled this Magento 2 Commands list that is useful to anyone who is creating, maintaining, developing, or migrating a magento store. Developers use magento commands all the time when configuring the Magento store.

To use these commands, you have to get SSH access to your server. You can use the CLI for local access.

Follow these steps to configure and run Magento CLI:

• Login to your account with SSH
• Change the directory to Magento folder from the Command Prompt
