npm / WordPress Boilerplate

Prerequisites

The following is a list of things you’ll need before you can get started:

• Git: Distributed version control system. (Pre-installed on MacOS)
• npm: Node package manager. (Pre-installed on MacOS)

Getting Started

Clone repository

• Option 1: $ git clone https://github.com/communify-agency/npm-wordpress-boilerplate.git
• Option 2: Use a Git GUI. Two free apps include Github Desktop and SourceTree.

After cloning the repository, a folder named npm-wordpress-boilerplate will be created. Rename this to whatever makes sense for your project.

Install WordPress

1. From the directory created above, type: $ npm run wordpress to run the npm script. The latest version of WordPress will be downloaded and extracted to the dist folder.
2. Visit your WordPress site to set up database and finish installation by visiting localhost:8080 or whatever virtual host/address you have set up.

Profit

From this point, you can begin creating and installing themes and plugins. Adjust .gitignore to track any custom themes and plugins.
