Code In Design

Here is the steps:

1. Clone wp-cap to a directory, e.g. my-wordpress git clone git://github.com/adamhunter/wp-cap.git my-wordpress

2. Copy your WordPress files to my-wordpress/public so you will have

   my-wordpress/
   ├── config
   └── public
       ├── wp-admin
       ├── wp-content
       └── wp-includes
   

3. You want to point your WordPress domain to my-wordpress/public

4. Move my-wordpress/public/wp-config-sample.php to my-wordpress/config/wp-config-sample.php

   my-wordpress/
   ├── Capfile
   ├── config
   │   ├── deploy.rb
   │   └── wp-config-sample.php
   ├── public
   │   ├── index.php
   │   ├── license.txt
   │   ├── readme.html
   │   ├── wp-activate.php
   │   ├── ...
   

5. Now make sure your WordPress installation is good to go

6. Push your changes in my-wordpress to your own Git repository
7. Edit my-wordpress/config/deploy.rb to conform your production environment. You will need to set:

application: this is the name of your application and the folder it will reside in on your server domain: this is the domain of your app user: this is the user that will be used to SSH and copying your files to your server git_domain and git_user should be self explanatory db_name, db_user, db_pass, db_host and db_prfx are all pretty self explanatory too if you have ever read through wp-config-sample.php. If you haven’t, go do that right now.

1. Run cap deploy:setup
2. If everything is good, run cap deploy

I created an example of WordPress setup using the wp-cap deployment script here
