I’ve been looking at automating my workflow lately so I’ve built a Yeoman Generator for WordPress which includes a grunt script for minimising CSS/JS and compressing images.

The Generator will

• Copy the package.json and Gruntfile.js to root folder
• Create your WordPress database
• Download and unzip latest WordPress version into root
• Delete preinstalled themes if adding a third part theme
• Download / install a third party theme and rename as specified
• Rename the TwentyFourteen theme to a name of choice if no third party themes are installed
• Download Advanced Custom Fields and move to plugins folder if requested
• Move wp-config file to root and update DB details. wp-config also includes environment detection
• Update theme name in stylesheet
• Set current theme in Database

The Grunt script will

• Minimise/Concatenate CSS
• Minimise/Concatenate Javascript
• Compress Images
• Copy all files to a dist folder for deployment.

You can download/install the Yeoman Wordpress  generator here

You can also download the Yeoman Wordpress generator directly from github if you want it modify it for your own needs.
