All the themes and plugins used by default in a Copter Labs WordPress project.

You may have noticed that this doesn't actually include the WordPress core. We did that on purpose. WordPress is already on GitHub, so you should be getting it from there.

First, get into your web root. If you're using Media Temple as we so ofter do, you might want to empty the folder to start.

git clone git://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git

mv WordPress/* .
rm -rf WordPress/

git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:copterlabs/wp-base.git
git pull origin master

git submodule init
git submodule update

mkdir wp-content/themes/childtheme
touch wp-content/themes/childtheme/style.css

NOTE: You need to add the comment block to set this as a child theme. You can grab it from our Gist here or from the WordPress Codex.
