WordPress Bedrock + Docker + Vite 5
Block Theme (FSE) boilerplate with interactive setup,
ACF Blocks v3, TypeScript, SCSS, and remote sync.
Get started → node setup.js
Shopify developers run shopify theme dev and get instant local-to-server sync,
hot reload, and a modern stack out of the box. WordPress developers?
We get FTP clients from 2005, manual uploads, and prayer-based deployments.
This boilerplate closes that gap. Edit your theme locally with Vite HMR,
auto-sync to your staging server via rsync or FTP,
and develop with a real stack: TypeScript, SCSS, Docker, Bedrock, ACF Blocks.
One node setup.js and you're running.
Think shopify theme dev, but for WordPress.
And yes — you can sync to production if you're brave enough.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
PHP 8.2-fpm, Nginx, MariaDB 11, MailHog, phpMyAdmin. One command to start.
Instant CSS updates. Zero-config hot module replacement with ViteHelper.php bridge.
Custom blocks with block.json + render.php. Example CTA block included.
Powered by wp-dev-sync CLI. SSH (rsync) or FTP (lftp). Edit locally, auto-sync to any server.
Strict mode, path aliases, component init pattern. Type-safe from day one.
