Bootstrap a new theme directly within wp-cli

Wordless brings integration with WP-CLI: once installed you'll have wp wordless command ready to start a new theme in a snap.

Write PHP templates with Pug templating system

Templates are compiled directly by the Wordless plugin. Once compiled, they'll be cached, so you have not to bother about performance overhead.

Write CSS stylesheets using the awesome Sass syntax

It will be chained and compiled on the fly inside asset/stylesheets/screen.css, which is already loaded by the vanilla theme. Sourcemaps will be there too, so you'll find yourself comfortable when working inide browser inspector. Need more? Configure the well known Webpack in order to fit your project needs.

Backed by WebPack, BrowserSync, WP-CLI, Yarn.
