Standalone theme without local Docker environment #16

Closed inorbita closed 7 years ago

inorbita commented 7 years ago

I would love to use just the theme (including Browsersync, Gulp etc.), but without the local Docker environment. Since I run my own local dev env. Would that be easily achievable?

Hi @inorbita. We'd really recommend using the full kit to keep projects isolated, and for ease of setup. However there's no reason you couldn't use the theme and build tools separately you would have to do the relevant parts of the set up manually. The process would roughly be:

  1. Clone repo.
  2. Move provision/dev folder to wherever you want to work from and delete everything else.
  3. Run npm install in that folder.
  4. Manually render all the .erb templates (open them, replace values with your project values, then save without the .erb extension).
  5. Run npm install in the src/ folder.
  6. Run compose install in the src/includes/ folder.
  7. Modify gulpfile.js to remove wpconfig() task and set the destination paths so that the build script compiles to your active WP folder.

Hopefully that'll be enough to get you there. Really this usage is unsupported though, so I'm not sure we would be able to offer further technical support. It would be better to use the whole kit! We'll soon be releasing some significant updates, so keep an eye out.
