README

A Drupal kick-starter with local dockerized host, GNU Make as tech-agnostic task runner, Drupal TOP recommended modules and setup.

Requirements

1. Docker (Since Docker Desktop moved to a paid subscription, check some alternatives)
2. DDEV
3. Git [optional, but recommended]
4. GNU Makefile utility [optional, but recommended]
5. Composer [optional, but recommended]

Get Started

Why do I need this?

You don't. What this kick-starter does is:

• Setup DDev as local host environment
• Create a project following latest drupal/recommended-project
• Requires other important packages like drush/drush or drupal/core-dev
• Prepare Drupal codebase with common settings
• Give an easy onboard, setting up the project locally with make install, make login, make seed-db
• Already setup for PHPCS and PHPUnit tests with Drupal with make tests

So you can do all of these steps manually, all the times. Or just use this project.

Usage

1. Run composer create-project gambry/drupal-kickstarter my-project
2. cd my-project
3. Now run make install and you are ready to go.

Tools & Utilities

Makefile

We use Makefile as task runner, to be truly technology-agnostic. This could be a Drupal, or PHP or JS project; running within a hosted LAMP stack, with Vagrant, Docker, K8, etc. For what it matters make install setups the project and make login gives you a unique link to login to the web platform.

Run make help to know all the incredible shortcuts you may need.
