WordPress skeleton

The complete codebase of a VIP Platform WordPress environment includes WordPress Core, VIP MU plugins, and the custom code committed to the application’s wpcomvip GitHub code repository. The wpcomvip GitHub repository for a WordPress application is based on the vip-go-skeleton.

Only the directories (and their contents) and files listed below are deployed to environments. Any other directories or files that are added to the root of an application’s GitHub repository will not deploy as expected.
