Primer

A WordPress theme boilerplate. The perfect starting point for your custom WordPress theme. ️

Features #

Front-end dependency management using GitHub & npm as repositories via Fetcher
JavaScript & CSS/SCSS compilation/minification via Piler
Boilerplate code for configuring custom post types, taxonomies, and user roles
Some sensible plugin hooks:
- Gravity Forms: Disable the built-in theme (so we can create a custom one)
- Updraft Plus: Prevent backups being created for non-production environments

composer create-project fivefifteen/primer my-new-theme
