Bedrock Multisite Skeleton
==========================

[](#bedrock-multisite-skeleton)

A [WordPress Bedrock multisite](https://github.com/gwa/bedrock-multisite-skeleton) skeleton. This project is trying to simplify the way we're setting up a new WordPress project. [Don't repeat yourself](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself).

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/c4ba74cd3c7dd3eed18beadd81325e388e74ab239bf1376dc264efce87d50532/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6777612f626564726f636b2d6d756c7469736974652d736b656c65746f6e2e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/gwa/bedrock-multisite-skeleton)

Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the [Twelve-Factor App](http://12factor.net/) methodology including the [WordPress specific version](https://roots.io/twelve-factor-wordpress/).
