# Regolith

Regolith is a WordPress installation template that employs best practices, but is also tailored for less demanding projects, and aims to automate as much maintenance as possible.

* Organized file system layout.

	* WordPress is installed in a subfolder, and the content directory is separate from it.

	* Shell scripts, configuration files, docs, etc all live outside of the web root.

* Designed to work with Apache and shared hosting (but mostly compatible with Nginx).

* Version your custom code and configuration in Git.

	* Includes optional configuration and integration for several security and performance plugins/services.

	* Includes optional configuration for Multisite with domain mapping. Automatically loads site-specific mu-plugins.

* Manage 3rd party plugin/theme dependencies with a simple text file and [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/).

	* The list of dependencies is tracked in Git, but their code is not, so your repository stays lean and uncluttered.

* Core/plugin/theme updates are installed automatically every hour (including major releases of Core).

* Deploy to production with a simple shell script, which automatically backs up the database, pulls the latest Git commits, purges various caches, and runs smoke tests to catch fatal errors.

* Send transactional emails via SMTP for better reliability.

* Automatically backup production database on a customizable schedule, and before every deployment.

* Run a script to import the production database and uploads into your local development environment. The local database is sanitized to remove passwords, email addresses, etc.

* Outputs a content flag designed for external monitoring services.

* Displays the current environment in the Admin Bar (i.e., _development_ or _production_).
