Usage

Preparation

• Install composer: sudo wget https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar --output-document=/usr/local/bin/composer && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
• Disable XDebug for CLI - optional: sudo phpdismod -s cli xdebug
• Install Prestissimo - optional: sudo composer global require "hirak/prestissimo:^0.3"

Create new project for local development

env CUSTOM_THEME_NAME=[THEMENAME] composer create-project lakedrops/d8-project [DIRNAME] --stability dev

This will build the full structure and create a git repository which you can then use during the full live-cycle of that project.

To install a new site with the included default configuration, use drush site-install config_installer and you get a jump-start from that.

Deploy project to upstream stages

For deployment, both initially and for later updates, follow this:

mkdir /PATH/TO/ROOT
cd /PATH/TO/ROOT
git clone YOUR-GIT-REPOSITORY .
composer install

Optionally you can also create all the scaffolds by using

composer drupal-scaffold

To manually update the theme components, if you're using the lakedrops/theme-d8-sass package and unintentionally changed one of the core file, then you can always run

composer drupal-theme-update

Adding new and updating existing components

Edit the composer.json file accoring to your requirements and then run composer update.
