**Yes.** You can use **Drush** with Drupal sites on Ruachost hosting.

Drush is a command-line tool for managing Drupal. Instead of clicking through the Drupal admin area, you can run commands to:

- Clear caches (`drush cr`).
- Enable or uninstall modules.
- Run database updates (`drush updb`).
- Export and import configuration.
- Back up the database (`drush sql:dump`).

## How to use it

Drush runs over **SSH**, which is included with your hosting.

1. Connect to your account with SSH.
2. Go to your Drupal folder, for example `cd ~/public_html`.
3. Run Drush commands from there.

For Drupal 8 and later, the usual way to install Drush is with Composer, inside your Drupal project:

```bash
composer require drush/drush
vendor/bin/drush status
```
