Starting point for new WP Project

WP Starter Project

Installation

Local VVV Wordpress Site

1. Go to the www directory of Vagrant
2. Clone this repo, change MyApp to the real project name
3. Find & replace example-project with the real project name
4. Provision

git clone https://github.com/nikosolihin/wp-starter.git MyApp && cd $_
find ./ -type f -maxdepth 1 -exec sed -i '' -e 's/example-project/myapp/g' {} \;
cd ../..
vagrant up --provision

Build Tool

Utilize Gulp Starter as project builder:

svn checkout https://github.com/vigetlabs/gulp-starter/trunk/src src
svn checkout https://github.com/vigetlabs/gulp-starter/trunk/gulpfile.js gulpfile.js
svn export https://github.com/vigetlabs/gulp-starter/trunk/package.json

Add php.js and twig.js from older projects to gulpfile.js/tasks. Edit name, version and description in package.json.

Clean unnecessary folders and .git folder to start a fresh history:

rm -rf .git
rm -rf ./src/html ./src/images
rm -rf ./gulpfile.js/tasks/html.js ./gulpfile.js/tasks/images.js
npm install

Initial Commit

Tell .gitignore to ignore htdocs and VVV config files:

echo "htdocs/\nvvv-hosts\nvvv-init.sh\nvvv-nginx.conf\nwp-cli.yml" >> .gitignore # We can now ignore the destination folder after vagrant provision
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'Allons-y!'

Then use Tower app to initiate Git-Flow.

Setting up remote repo

Create a new Github repo without .gitignore and README.md. Then add the new origin to our local repo:

git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORYURL.git

Do a git push to make sure everything's good.

Setting up remote deploy repo

Prepare the bare repo for deployment using this prep.sh and post-receive hook:

ssh -i .ssh/KEYNAME user@host
cd ~
curl -O https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nikosolihin/7b4eabe087ccec339eca6d8e60d1c56f/raw/7e433ce5a235e1b150d2eeb2fec9c1f0d664b42a/prep.sh
chmod +x prep.sh && ./$_

Preparing Travis CI

1. Head to Travis CI account settings, sync repo and toggle the project's repo.
2. Copy the markdown of the status badge.
3. Revise the project's README.md and paste the badge.
4. Copy the private key that Travis will use to the folder. Don't commit!
5. Run travis login and travis encrypt-file deploy-key --add to add the needed env vars and update .travis.yml
6. rm deploy-key
7. Customize .travis.yml
8. Cut and paste the openssl part to _travis/install.sh
9. Make sure _travis/deploy.sh looks good
10. If using Basecamp, update the Zapier webhooks URL in .travis.yml
