Craft Master is designed to be a set of base templates and starter code for Craft CMS. It is not meant to be used as is, but as a starting place for several different possible goals.

If you are looking for a basic Team Multi-Environment config, you may want to check out the more simple Craft Multi-Environment Config.

Craft Master includes:

We've updated Craft to run comfortably in any environment that we send it to. A few changes have to be made to the primary index.php file and to the environment-specfic config and database files, and then you can work on localhost, staging, dev, production, or wherever else you fancy.

• Added test for environment to /public/index.php
• Override and define CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT variable in index.php
• Added craft/config/local folder for local config settings
• Added example general.php and db.php in craft/config/local
• Updated /craft/config/general.php to merge in environment specific config settings
• Updated /craft/config/db.php to merge in environment specific database settings
• Set URI_SCHEME, SITE_URL, and BASEPATH variables in /craft/config/general.php
• Moved some config overrides to /craft/config/general.php for easier access
  • Added environmentVariables 'siteUrl' => SITE_URL
  • Added environmentVariables 'basePath' => BASEPATH

  • Set cooldownDuration to 1 second

We've added a handful of things to our base .htaccess file. Since many rules require certain server settings to be turned on and may throw errors if they are not, all rules except the default Craft .htaccess rules are commented out by default. You can enable them as you choose to in your own environment.
