How to deploy WordPress.org Developer theme

[Hari]

Hello, I’m interested in testing this WordPress theme, and I’m eager to get started. Could you please provide guidance on how to set up and test this theme? I noticed it involves commands like ‘yarn,’ so I would appreciate your assistance in getting it up and running.

@Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server.

My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

@Hari Looking through the Git repository, this appears to be based on Docker, Yarn, and NodeJS - and self-sufficient in the sense that it is running it’s own web server. Can you provide me a bit more info around intended usage?

@phenomlab I’m interested in learning how this theme operates and if it’s easily manageable through the WordPress panel. If everything functions smoothly, I’d like to use it for my travel website to document about places, hikes and trails.
