# WordPress Installation and VirtualHost Creation
#
# Description: Installs a WordPress website in the ~/Sites folder, creates a homepage, 
# cleans up the WP install a bit, deletes the akismet and hello dolly plugins, creates the permalinks, 
# clones the roots/sage theme framework to the theme folder, deletes all the other WP default themes, 
# installs/runs npm and bower and runs gulp to create the initial assets, adds a custom gitignore file 
# to /wp-content, installs the roots/soil plugin, creates a git repo in wp-content, saves the WordPress 
# credentials to a local file and the password to your clipboard. Then it creates a virtualhost for you. Voila!
