grunt-wp-bootsrap-theme
Create a WordPress theme with grunt-init.
Installation
If you haven't already done so, install grunt-init.
Once grunt-init is installed, place this template in your ~/.grunt-init/ directory. It's recommended that you use git to clone this template into that directory, as follows:
Linux/Mac Users
git clone git@github.com:ivanlopez/grunt-wp-bootstrap-theme.git ~/.grunt-init/wp-bootsrap-theme
Windows Users
git clone git@github.com:ivanlopez/grunt-wp-bootstrap-theme.git ~/.grunt-init/wp-bootsrap-theme
Usage
At the command-line, cd into an empty directory, run this command and follow the prompts. Due to having fonts you need to use --force. I plan to update it soon so that you don't need to user --force.
grunt-init wp-bootsrap-theme --force
Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first if you don't want to overwrite existing files.
Install the NPM modules required to actually process your newly-created project by running:
npm install
Scaffold
After running the init command above, you will be presented with a standard directory structure similar to:
/theme
.. /assets
.. .. /css
.. .. .. /src
.. .. .. /less
.. .. .. /vendor
.. .. /js
.. .. .. /src
.. .. /fonts
.. /images
.. .. /src
.. /includes
.. /languages
.. .. theme.pot
.. .gitignore
.. Gruntfile.js
.. footer.php
.. functions.php
.. header.php
.. humans.txt
.. index.php
.. screenshot.png
.. style.css
Note: The style.css file in the root of the directory shouldn't contain any style definitions. It's used for populating information on WordPress' themes page only. Your theme's style information should go in the appropriate source directory for your preprocessor under /assets/css.
JavaScript
You should only ever be modifying script files in the /js/src directory. Grunt will automatically concatenate and minify your scripts into /js/filename.js and /js/filename.min.js. These generated files should never be modified directly.
Images
The /img/src directory exists only to allow you to keep track of source files (like PSDs or separate images that have been merged into sprites). This helps keep source files under version control, and allows you to bundle them with the distribution of your new GPL plugin.
