Change README file to better help users with available commands

[stpaultim]

I am one of those "developers" that seldom uses the help option for commands when using the CLI. I should make better use of this resource, but in the past as I was getting started, this page often just confused me.

I tend to look at the list of available commands on the README file for drush and forget that there are apparently many more commands supported.

I think it would be great if we kept a full list of commands in the README file, but at a minimum I am going to suggest a clear adding a clear instruction to users to check the help page for more options.

I will submit a PR to this effect (and it will include adding two more favorites of mine to the README, without being comprehensive). I would be happy for someone to edit this PR or write a new one. Also, I will be happy to revise this PR based upon feedback.

I just submitted #209

But, in looking closer at drush help - it would appear that it is still listing many Drupal specific commands that may or may not work with Backdrop. Do I understand that correct?

Should we just try and keep the README up to date?

If so, what other commands should be listed?

[serundeputy]

bcex, bcim, bp, dlb, en, dis, pml

[serundeputy]

ctl

[stpaultim]

@serundeputy - What is ctl. It didn't work for me and drush ctl --help gave me nothing.

[stpaultim]

I've updated the PR with all suggestions except ctl and reorganized them in groupings/order that make sense to me (the best criteria), happy to hear feedback on alternative organization of the list.

[serundeputy]

You want drush help ctl

[serundeputy]

ctl is only available in >= 1.1.0

[stpaultim]

So, I'm working with Lando and the following default recipe:

name: demo
recipe: backdrop
config:
  webroot: .

How do I tell it to use Drush 1.1.0?

[serundeputy]

I think pmu works too

[serundeputy]

In the config section add

backdrush: 1.1.0

[stpaultim]

Thanks. I had to destroy and restart lando environment (rebuild did not work). But, I got it working.

OK, finally finished making a change before you managed to suggest another addition! ;-)
Done for tonight. See updated PR.
