A Git repository skeleton for WordPress sites, with WordPress itself as a submodule and a clean content directory layout. It provides conventions for separating Git-managed code from writable/uploaded files via symlinks.

Use cases

• start a new WordPress site repo with a clean Git layout
• manage WordPress core as a Git submodule
• separate uploaded files from version-controlled code
• set up different local and production database configs
• deploy WordPress with symlinked shared directories
• use memcached as a WordPress object cache backend

When to choose

• you want a battle-tested WordPress Git repo structure with WordPress as a submodule
• you deploy WordPress sites and need clean separation of code and uploads
• you want a minimal, opinionated starting point you can fork and customize

When to avoid

• you prefer managing WordPress with Composer or Bedrock-style tooling
• you want a full deployment pipeline or hosting solution rather than just a repo layout
• you need an actively maintained project with community support and a license
