## What it is
WordPress is the world's most widely used open-source content management system and publishing platform, built in PHP with a MySQL/MariaDB database, powering over 43% of websites. This GitHub repository is a read-only Git mirror of the official WordPress Subversion repository; development contributions go to the wordpress-develop repository and core Trac instead.

## Use cases
- build a blog or personal publishing site
- create a business or marketing website without code
- set up an online store with WooCommerce
- self-host a content management system on my own server
- extend a website with plugins and custom themes
- manage website content with a block editor
- build a membership or news publishing site

## When to choose
- you need a mature, battle-tested CMS with a huge plugin and theme ecosystem
- you want non-technical editors to manage content through a visual block editor
- you need a self-hosted website platform with strong community support and documentation
- you want to build anything from a blog to an e-commerce site on one platform

## When to avoid
- you want to contribute code - use the WordPress/wordpress-develop repository and core Trac instead of this mirror
- you need a lightweight static site or headless-only API without CMS overhead
- you require a fully typed modern PHP framework for custom application development
- you need real-time or highly specialized application logic better served by a custom framework
