Here is a way to start a new WordPress plugin, theme, or site.

It runs a tool called create-tangible (Git repository), which asks a few questions to start a new project.

? Select project type (Use arrow keys)
❯ WordPress plugin
  WordPress theme
  WordPress site

? Project title
? Project description

It creates the project folder, and copies the contents of a starter template based on project type. It runs npm install and roll install to prepare NPM packages and other dependencies like Framework and Updater .

Create project "example"

Copy template type plugin
Install dependencies

$ roll install
Cloning into 'framework'...
Cloning into 'updater'...

Start by running:
cd example
npm run start

As indicated, change to the project directory and run the start script. This serves a self-contained local site running on WordPress Playground.
