Generate a Wordpress installation without clicking. Its special sauce is a mixture of Composer and WP-CLI.

It also provides a necesssary bootstrap files for unit testing with PHPUnit.

• Composer should be installed locally. This may be optional in the future.
• PHP 5.3 or greater is required for Composer.
• This demo assumes an installation running at http://localhost/example/. You can customize this in the environment targets of the Makefile.

First, clone this repository.

On your local machine, run the following commands:

echo "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS example" | mysql -u root -p; 
make
make post-install
make test

Setting Other environments or options:

make URL=http://localhost/myotherproject
make ENVIRONMENT=staging
make ENVIRONMENT=production

1. Composer installs WP-CLI, PHPUnit, and a few other dependencies in vendor.
2. Environment-specific tasks are run next. By default it runs the development environment task, setting up a wp-config.php file and installing tables in your database. Staging and production are other optional targets.
3. Plugins are installed. In this example, WP-LESS 1.4.2 is downloaded and activated.
4. An .htaccess is automatically generated with the rewrite structure /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/.
5. Unnecesssary themes and plugins are deleted.

• The .htaccess file generated includes rules from HTML5 Boilerplate. Customize to your liking.
• TGM Plugin Activator will soon be bundled for automating plugin tasks from within your Wordpress theme.
• You can also trigger unit tests via web browser at http://localhost/exmaple/tests/web-runner.php
