Bedrock + PHP Server + Livereload

mkdir projectname/ && cd projectname/
git clone git@github.com:OutThisLife/NWS-WP.git .
composer install
touch .env

Setup database credentials for .env and then run yarn dev to start a PHP server, livereload server, and to listen to all css/js changes.

SSH work flow

Let your server build your WP site for you via git.

On the server

$ mkdir nws-wp.git && cd nws-wp.git
$ git init --bare
$ vim hooks/post-receive

post-receive:

#!/bin/sh
echo "********************"
echo "Build initiated"
echo "********************"
DIR=/home/<username>/public_html/nws-wp
GIT_WORK_TREE=$DIR git checkout -f
echo "Changing permissions for $DIR"
cd $DIR && composer install
chown -hR apache:apache $DIR

Your local setup

$ git init
$ git remote add live ssh://user@domain.com/home/<username>/public_html/nws-wp.git
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:<username>/nws-wp.git

WPEngine work flow

First, you have to enable git on your WPE install as well as a staging environment.

Your remotes should ideally look something like this:

$ git remote -v
origin  git@bitbucket.org:outthislife/reponame.git (fetch)
origin  git@bitbucket.org:outthislife/reponame.git (push)
production      git@git.wpengine.com:production/reponame (fetch)
production      git@git.wpengine.com:production/reponame (push)
staging git@git.wpengine.com:staging/reponame (fetch)
staging git@git.wpengine.com:staging/reponame (push)

You need remotes setup as above in order to manage your VC. Staging will be where you push most of your changes up, but all of your git work will remain mostly on bitbucket. This is because WPE will automatically deploy any push to their git servers despite the branch name.

To bypass this, you use the origin remote to manage your branches and then just deploy to whichever WPE environment you need once ready.

With this setup, and on any branch, you can deploy via yarn deploy to staging and yarn golive to production.
