Core
Core Multisite-Install
wp core multisite-install
Installs WordPress multisite from scratch.
Creates the WordPress tables in the database using the URL, title, and default admin user details provided. Then, creates the multisite tables in the database and adds multisite constants to the wp-config.php.
For those using WordPress with Apache, remember to update the .htaccess file with the appropriate multisite rewrite rules.
OPTIONS
[--url=<url>] : The address of the new site.
[--base=<url-path>] : Base path after the domain name that each site url in the network will start with. --- default: / ---
[--subdomains] : If passed, the network will use subdomains, instead of subdirectories. Doesn't work with 'localhost'.
--title=<site-title> : The title of the new site.
--admin_user=<username> : The name of the admin user. --- default: admin ---
[--admin_password=<password>] : The password for the admin user. Defaults to randomly generated string.
--admin_email=<email> : The email address for the admin user.
[--skip-email] : Don't send an email notification to the new admin user.
[--skip-config] : Don't add multisite constants to wp-config.php.

> --admin_user="admin" --admin_password="password" \
