Quick Build WordPress & Roots


BASH, Roots, WordPress
David Egan

This BASH script was written to automate the deployment of WordPress & Roots on a local development server (Ubuntu 14.04). It could easily be adapted for use in a public-facing server.

Clone the project on GitHub - pull requests welcome.

Save the script as /usr/local/bin/roots-spin and make executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/roots-spin

#!/bin/bash
# This script:
# - Creates a new directory for a WordPress site in /var/www.
# - Creates a new WordPress test site, with a fresh database.
# - Downloads, renames and activates the Roots theme.
# - Sets up a new GitHub repo for the new theme (GitHub personal token needs to be in place)
# - Downloads & activates the "Soil" plugin.
# - Installs node & bower dependencies by running npm install.
# - Requires WP-CLI: http://wp-cli.org/
# - Ubuntu: save this script as /usr/local/bin/roots-spin
# - Make it executable, then you can invoke it by typing "roots-spin" in the terminal.
# NOTE: depending on your node setup, you may need to amend the setup_node () function in this script (see inline comments).

# Set up directory, download wp core

echo -e "Please enter the name of the new wp directory:"

wp core download

# Set up variables
# Username is just the "salted" db name. For publicly accessible databases, make this more secure.

newuser+=_user
# Password is just the "salted" db name. Adjust this for better passwords - require user input.
