May benefit from a theme setup script!

[aurooba]

In my own scaffold, I have this thing in my gulpfile, to save myself from the search/replace life. You might find it helpful :) It uses gulp-prompt and gulp-replace, and keyed to a gulp setup command. It's a bit old and needs cleanup and refining, but it works really well and is so quick.

/**
 * Task: Get the Terms
 *
 * Creates multiple user prompts used during Setup to make the necessary changes to the theme
 *
 */
function get_the_terms() {
    return src(['*.php', '**/*.php', 'scss/style.scss']).pipe(
        prompt.prompt(
            [
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'theme',
                    message: 'Enter your theme name (e.g. WP Workflow Website):',
                },
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'textdomain',
                    message: "Enter your theme's text domain (e.g. wp-workflow):",
                },
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'url',
                    message: "Enter your theme's URL:",
                },
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'author',
                    message: 'Enter your name:',
                },
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'authorurl',
                    message: 'Enter your URL:',
                },
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'package',
                    message:
                        'Enter package name (e.g. workflow_supercharged, make sure spaces are underscores):',
                },
                {
                    type: 'input',
                    name: 'projecturl',
                    message: 'Enter your Local URL (without the protocol):',
                },
            ],
            (result) => {
                themename = result.theme;

@aurooba Thanks, this has been on my mind but I haven't decided how I want to handle it yet. I appreciate the sample script!

I've got another repo for a potential Node package that would pull the scaffold and handle the search and replace, since it's just a one-time setup kind of thing. But it would also be useful to handle creating the .env file for local dev to set the local domain.

Yes! A node package has been on my list forever. The gulp thing was always meant to be a stand-in.

I always thought it would be cool if the node package could pull in a scaffold of your choice with variables/replace-tokens defined and then the package could handle the search replace and stuff for you. I have about 3 scaffolds right now that I use based on the project complexity and type.
