Spin up a Bedrock Project

This script:

• Sets up a directory and environment for your project
• Downloads and installs a Bedrock project to your new project directory
• Can be either a subdirectory of localhost (for dev) or a standalone URL (for dev, staging or production)
• Generates (pseudo) random salts internally without calling to the WP secret key generator
• Generates strong passwords for the database and the first WordPress admin user
• Creates a new project database
• Configures database for WordPress (using WP-CLI)
• Builds the Bedrock config (.env) with DB connection, environment etc.
• Optionally install & setup a new WP theme based on Sage (using Composer)
• Optionally install Sage Soil plugin (using Composer)
• Optionally create and enable an Apache virtual host configuration ('standalone' URL only)
• Optionally create a new GitHub repo for your project and make a first commit

Requirements

• Composer, which should be referenced in your $PATH
• WP-CLI

Get Started

1. Clone this repo to a suitable location
2. Create a symlink to bedrock-spin in your $PATH
3. Run the script

Example symlink creation:

sudo ln -s ~/public-bash-projects/bedrock-spin/bedrock-spin /usr/local/bin/bedrock-spin

# Run the script by entering `bedrock-spin` in a terminal.

Installing Sage Starter Theme

The script provides an option for setting up a custom theme based on the Sage starter theme.

When prompted for a BrowserSync URL, you should enter your development URL (which will have been previously configured by means of this script).

Hosts File

For development on Linux LAMP stack, you need to amend /etc/hosts file after setup. Set the development URL that you set to reference your localhost IP address:

# /etc/hosts

# Local Dev
127.0.0.1	your-dev-site.local
