Drush Download File

Drush Download File is a drush plugin that allows you to download files and place them in locations. This is behavior similar to what a make file can provide except you won't need to write a make file in order to get a file and put it in the right place.

Supports

• Unzipping / Untarring packages
• Downloading to a specific directory (or the current one)
• renaming what's downloaded
• Git, curl and wget based pulldown methods

Uses

• You want to download a file from a location
• you want to download a patch from a location and put it somewhere
• you want to get something from a private repo as part of a site migration routine / recipe
• you want to do this in drush as a single command or chain of command and have dependencies that need downloaded
