Empty Theme: Script to generate a personalized starter theme

[MaggieCabrera]

Using https://github.com/Automattic/underscores.me/blob/master/plugins/underscoresme-generator/underscoresme-generator.php as a reference I created a script that will generate a zip file with a theme based on emptytheme that has the name the user gives to the script.

Run php new-empty-theme.php from the root of the repo.

We can expand on this to add further info for style.css such as Author, Description, etc. I only did the name as a starting point.

Looking good and working well for me!

We should add some documentation to the readme about the php requirement and how to use this.

Is it more convenient for this to generate a zip or a directory?

I am not 100% sure of how we want to go with this script and that's why I kept the approach of the underscores original code. And also why I didn't add any extra info for the style.css.

I think this is a good starting point and the next steps would be:

• Changing from generating a zip file to just a folder
• Ask the user for the author name, theme URL, and description. (Do we have a default in case the user doesn't fill one of these?)
• Add documentation for this script in the README

Does that sound good? Anything else we could add?

LGTM

noticed some stuff!

In style.css I still see this:

Empty Theme is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL.

The block template parts also have the theme slug in them.

I think the theme slug should be removed from the template parts like Jorge says here: #81 (comment)
