# wp scaffold plugin
Generates starter code for a plugin.
The following files are always generated:
* `plugin-slug.php` is the main PHP plugin file.
* `readme.txt` is the readme file for the plugin.
* `package.json` needed by NPM holds various metadata relevant to the project. Packages: `grunt`, `grunt-wp-i18n` and `grunt-wp-readme-to-markdown`. Scripts: `start`, `readme`, `i18n`.
* `Gruntfile.js` is the JS file containing Grunt tasks. Tasks: `i18n` containing `addtextdomain` and `makepot`, `readme` containing `wp_readme_to_markdown`.
* `.editorconfig` is the configuration file for Editor.
* `.gitignore` tells which files (or patterns) git should ignore.
* `.distignore` tells which files and folders should be ignored in distribution.
The following files are also included unless the `--skip-tests` is used:
* `phpunit.xml.dist` is the configuration file for PHPUnit.
* `.circleci/config.yml` is the configuration file for CircleCI. Use `--ci=<provider>` to select a different service.
* `bin/install-wp-tests.sh` configures the WordPress test suite and a test database.
* `tests/bootstrap.php` is the file that makes the current plugin active when running the test suite.
* `tests/test-sample.php` is a sample file containing test cases.
* `.phpcs.xml.dist` is a collection of PHP_CodeSniffer rules.
