A WordPress starter-theme generator for Yeoman.

Inspired by:

• _s
• HTML5 Boilerplate
• neato

Build Requirements

• NodeJS
• NPM
• Grunt
• Bower
• Yeoman
• NodeSass
• Browsersync

Installing

Once you have NodeJS & NPM installed, all other requirements can be installed with:

npm install -g bower browser-sync grunt-cli node-sass yo

Install matter:

npm install -g git+ssh://git@github.com:oknoway/matter.git

Generate your theme

cd to your WordPress themes directory and initiate the generator:

yo matter

Once installation is finished, cd to your new theme directory and run grunt.

Post Types & Taxonomies

This is a great time to add any custom post types and taxonomies. If you install WP-CLI, you can quickly generate post types and taxonomies with the following commands, answering Y to --theme and n to --raw:

• Post Types: wp scaffold post-type --prompt
• Taxonomies: wp scaffold taxonomy --prompt

TODO

• Prompts for:
  • Post Types
  • Taxonomies
  • Sidebars
  • Widgets
  • Nav Menus
• SubGenerators
  • neato
