This repository is the official repository for `wpboot` and a continuation of the previous [Themeboot](https://github.com/zaghadon/themeboot) project. Why wpboot ---------- [](#why-wpboot) I build Plugins and Themes as a freelancer for different people and want to quickly start off with a simple project scaffold that is why I created wpboot, to help me start a new project easily by simply supplying the details of the Project and Initializing it in a boilerplate; if you use it and you like it, Just send me your project link let me list it on the `Created with`. Thank you <3 Getting Started =============== [](#getting-started) You'll need `php-cli`, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) and A local [WordPress](https://wordpress.org) installation to get started. **Simple Installation:** There are 2 easy ways to install WPBoot in your computer. --- First and the recommended way is through Composer Global Require, One Line Command. Make sure to place Composer's system-wide vendor bin directory in your $PATH so the wpboot executable can be located by your system. This directory exists in different locations based on your operating system; however, some common locations include: macOS: `$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin`Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin`GNU / Linux Distributions: `$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin or $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin` Show me howIf it's not already there, add the following line to your Bash configuration file (usually `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.): ``` export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH ``` If the file doesn't exist, create it. Run the following command on the file you've just updated for the change to take effect: ``` source ~/.bash_profile ``` You could also find the composer's global installation path by running `composer global about` and looking up from the first line. TO INSTALL: - Run `composer global require topazdom/wpboot` to install WPboot Globally in your computer. - Run `wpboot` to verify successful installation. --- Another Way is to clone the project directly to your computer. Change Directory to the cloned project and Install composer dependency. - Run `git clone https://github.com/topazdom/wpboot.git` - Run `cd wpboot` - Run `composer install` Manually export wpboot binary to your PATH to make it available globally by: - Windows : Adding the path to `wpboot` to system PATH variable. - Linux : Run `sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wpboot /path/to/wpboot` replacing path to with your wpboot installation location. This would create a symlink between your local global bin folder and wpboot executable binary. - Mac: Run `echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/path/to/wpboot"' >> ~/.zshrc` to export the binary to PATH. You'll need to restart the terminal for the new bash file to take effect. - Run `wpboot` to verify successful installation. **Simple Usage:** Change Directory to the theme or plugin Folder of your wordpress installation. ``` `cd **/wp-content/themes/` OR `cd **/wp-content/plugins/`. ___________ FOR THEME ___________ Initialize new Theme development From a theme file directory. `wpboot theme` This would initialize the boilerplate scaffolding in the current directory or folder. If Running from the /themes/ directory, specify theme folder name using the folder parameter e.g `wpboot theme folder="newtheme"` This would create the folder and initialize the boilerplate scaffolding in the created directory or folder. ___________ FOR PLUGIN ___________ Initialize new Plugin Development From the Plugin Directory `wpboot plugin` make sure you provide accurate plugin folder name in the Text Domain Field as this would be used programmatically to help you follow accordingly with the WordPress Naming Standards. ``` Contributing ============ [](#contributing) Contributions are very welcome!
