wordpress-submodules.md

** Note: folders containing .git files are meant to represent repositories. Repositories inside repositories are submodules.**

/SuperRepo /.git (#1) /ProjectRepo1 /.git (#2) /wp-config.php (#3) /WordPress /.git (#4) /plugins /plugin-1 /.git (#5) /plugin-2 /.git (#5) /themes /theme-1 /.git (#6)

  1. Tracks all projects, each project is a submodule.
  2. Tracks a specific project. Each project consists of the WordPress submodule, plugin theme submodules, and a wp-config.php file.
  3. Sets WP_CONTENT constants to be the ProjectRepo itself rather than the WordPress folder.
  4. Submodule clone of the WordPress/WordPress repository hosted on GitHub
  5. Each and every plugin in its own submodule.
  6. Each theme in is own submodule. Projects will typically only need one theme.
