Overview

Tired of doing the same boring operations each time I have to set up my common development environment, I decided to create this script which is intended to automatize the installation and configuration of a LAMP WordPress-development environment based on Ubuntu. It contains a basic set of instructions for installing Apache, PHP, MariaDB, Redis, NodeJS and a bunch of utilities that I have been using for years.

Currently it is focused on Ubuntu 24.04, I do not reject to add more distros in the future though.

How to use

In your Linux console, launch the next command. Change {version} for the selected Distro version:

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davidnaviaweb/php-dev-env/refs/heads/main/{version}/setup.sh | sudo bash

NewRelease details

This tool createas a new release for a plugin or theme based on the git repository you lauch the script.

$ NewRelease --type

It accepts three options for type, depending on the type of release you want to create based on the Semantic Version standard.

$ NewRelease major
$ NewRelease minor
$ NewRelease patch

The script will detect whether you are in a plugin or a theme repository and it will update the version number on the main plugin file or the style.css theme file. After that, it will create a git commit and a tag automatically.
