How do I generate numeric titled wordpress posts?

I would like to automatically generate some sequential WordPress posts that have numeric titles, for example "1", "2", "3"… etc.

I’m looking for an automatic system since I would like my posts to go from "1" to "999999".

No post content or meta is required, only the titles.

I’m aware of wp post generate but I have no idea on how to use it so that the post titles have the requirements explained above.

I’m working on a demo project so search engine optimization is not a concern at the moment.

CLI usage is accepted.

    You can achieve that quite simply by using a for loop with any arbitrary range (1-99 for example – or any other range you prefer)

    for i in {1..99}; do wp post create --post_title="This is post number $i" --post_status=publish; done

    This will call the wp post create command on each iteration of the loop and append the number to the post title.

    wordpress appends a numeric value automatically if there’s an existing post with the same post-title.

    so if the permalinks are set to be postname the URL will look as follow:

    my-post
my-post-1
my-post-2
etc

    <?php

// Create post object usinf for loop 
for($i=1;$i<=9999;$i++){
$my_post = array();
$my_post['post_title']    = '<?php echo $i;?>';
$my_post['post_content']  = 'This is my post-<?php echo $i;?>';
$my_post['post_status']   = 'publish';
$my_post['post_author']   = 1;
$my_post['post_category'] = array(0);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );"
}
?>
