Generate Emi, an automated WordPress Starter Theme

This is a Yeoman generator that lets you quickly and easily create a new WordPress theme based on Emi, a starter theme. The generated starter theme is ready to roll with naming conventions based on your generator input, and with Sass and Gulp.js for further automation as you work on your customizations.

Getting Started

Install Yeoman

If you don't already have Yeoman installed, you'll need to take care of that:

$ npm install -g yo

Or, if you get errors related to permissions, try:

$ sudo npm install -g yo

Install Emi

You can install the Emi generator using the command:

$ npm install -g generator-emi

Then, you should be able to initiate the generator.

$ yo emi

You'll want to do this from your /wp-content/themes/ directory or wherever you want your new theme folder to live. Your theme files will be created in their own directory, named based on your input.

That's all there is to it!
