CLI Commands for Sitemap Generation

Command line tools for the Google Sitemap & Robots extension. These commands are useful for manual sitemap generation, automation scripts, and troubleshooting.

Available Commands

mm-sitemap:generate

Generates the XML sitemap for your store. This is the same process that runs via cron.

# Generate sitemaps for all enabled store views
bin/magento mm-sitemap:generate

# Generate sitemap for specific store view only
bin/magento mm-sitemap:generate --store-id=1

Options:

Output: Shows progress and results per store view.

Use this when:

• Testing sitemap generation without waiting for cron
• Troubleshooting sitemap issues (CLI provides more detailed output)
• Running sitemap generation from deployment scripts
• Manual sitemap refresh after catalog updates
