You can get this to work in two ways, via .git or download it manually

In the webroot run:

git clone https://github.com/janw-oostendorp/WordPress-Skeleton.git .

This will download the base, next we download the WordPress submodule.

git submodule update --init

If needed add your own remote repository

git remote rm origin git remote add origin YOUR_REPOSITORY.URL/

Download the zip and unzip it in the webroot. Download Wordpress unzip it in the /wp folder.

After downloading you can continue to install WordPress

1. Copy local-config.sample.php and rename it to local-config.php
2. Add the database constants and the domain
3. In wp-config.php Edit the $table_prefix
4. add the *_KEY constants which can be generated here
5. open your website and continue with the famous 5 minute install.
