Requires a local development environment. I use https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/valet, and ~/development/valet-sites is where I've run valet park.

Usage:

  1. Download script, and make it executable: chmod 755 /location/to/wp-create
  2. Ensure script location is in your current PATH. Run echo $PATH to see where you could put it. /usr/local/bin is a good option, else you can put anywhere and add to your PATH's if you know how.
  3. Change ~/development/valet-sites in the script to wherever you want sites to be added.
  4. Run wp-create sitename to have sitename.test automatically created for you, opened in the browser, with the username a and password p.

Also pairs well with wp-remove script below for deleting the sites :)

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Need to provide the directory to be removed."
    exit 1
fi

# go to the valet sites folder
cd ~/development/valet-sites/$1

# remove the database
wp db drop --yes

# trash the folder
trash ~/development/valet-sites/$1

echo -e "Success: $1.test site removed."
