Aliases for navigating a Roots project in a local environment. Inspired by https://gist.github.com/knowler/7c0686c4c1876980657f369213287749

roots-aliases.plugin.zsh

root() {
  local root
  if [[ "$PWD" == *"/trellis"* ]]; then
    root=${PWD%/trellis*}
  elif [[ "$PWD" == *"/site"* ]]; then
    root=${PWD%/site*}
  elif [[ -d "$PWD/trellis" || -d "$PWD/site" ]]; then
    root=${PWD}
  fi

  echo "$root"
}

alias theme='cd $(root)/site/web/app/themes/$(wp @dev option get stylesheet | cut -d/ -f1)'
alias trellis='cd $(root)/trellis'
alias site='cd $(root)/site'

Notes:

• assumes default Trellis setup, where the project folder contains two folders, trellis/ and site/
• the theme alias will not work for default themes located in site/web/wp/wp-content/themes/
• the theme alias assumes a @dev alias has been set up for wp-cli; see https://discourse.roots.io/t/leveraging-wp-cli-aliases-in-your-wordpress-development-workflow/8414/38?u=runofthemill for more information

This can be used as a standalone script, or as a custom Oh-My-Zsh plugin by creating a folder named roots-aliases in the ZSH custom folder (defaults to $ZSH/custom) and placing this file within, then adding roots-aliases to the plugin list in .zshrc.
