[DEPRECATED] WordPress Skeleton

USE https://github.com/genesis/wordpress/ INSTEAD! IT ROCKS!

Opinionated WordPress starter template that sets up local development & remote deployment via a simple configuration & command-line tools.

Features

• Simple installation & configuration via Composer & an interactive console
• Local development environment via Vagrant
• Simple local URLs like http://local.mysite.com/ via Vagrant Hostmaster
• Local & remote deployment via Capistrano
• Simplified theme development via _s and the WordPress Theme Unit Test

Installation

Creating a New Theme:

$ cd path/to/sites
$ git clone git://github.com/ericclemmons/wordpress-skeleton.git my-theme

Adding to an Existing Theme:

$ cd path/to/existing/theme
$ git remote add skeleton git://github.com/ericclemmons/wordpress-skeleton.git
$ git fetch skeleton && git merge --squash skeleton/master

• Download & Install Vagrant
• Install Vagrant Hostmaster: $ sudo gem install vagrant-hostmaster
• Capistrano: $ sudo gem install capistrano capistrano-ext colored
• Composer: $ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
• Composer depependencies: $ php composer.phar install

Configure your skeleton.yml

This is where all WordPress plugins, admin logins & server information is stored.

$ ./bin/skeleton configure

(Re)Generating Your WordPress Skeleton

This is done automatically whenever you configure your skeleton.yml, but should be ran if you make any changes to it manually:

$ ./bin/skeleton generate

Local Development

$ vagrant up

The first time you run this, you have to perform a cold deployment to setup the folder structure & database:

$ cap local deploy:cold

After doing it once, you can just do normal deployments, which will only update the theme:

$ cap local deploy

Open WordPress in your browser:

$ ./skeleton open

Now you can make changes to /src and refresh!

You can always view skeleton.yml or run ./skeleton info for WordPress Admin credentials.

Useful Commands

• ./skeleton will list all possible commands you can run to affect your local skeleton's configuration. These commands are also ran remotely via cap to perform tasks on the server.

• cap -T will list all deployment & WordPress-related commands that can be used with each environment. (You will use local the most)
