newSite command to make a new site from the terminal

newSite.sh

## please note: this assumes you have a folder called _StartingSiteTemplate in ~/Documents. 
## i have uploaded a zip of my _StartingSiteTemplate here: http://cl.ly/1u2W1K2Q192Z3C0r2J0x
## that file above is based off of paul irish's html5 boilerplate - highly recommended!
## NOTE: this is using textmate and LESScss, but those are easily configurable.
## NOTE: if rsync isn't working for you, note the file paths I'm using.

newSite(){
  echo "Please name the directory: "
  read SITE_NAME
  echo "Creating $SITE_NAME... zomg!"
  mkdir $SITE_NAME
  cp -r ~/Documents/_StartingSiteTemplate/* $SITE_NAME
  cd $SITE_NAME
  echo "[y/n] Would you like to set up rsync, so you can deploy by simply typing 'rake'?"
  read user_response
  
  if [[ "$user_response" == "Y" || "$user_response" == "y" || "$user_response" == "yes" || "$user_response" == "YES" || "$user_response" == "Yes" ]]; 
    then
      echo "What's your ssh username? "
      read ssh_username
      echo "What's your ssh server? "
      read ssh_server
      echo "...and what's your URL?"
      read ssh_url
      perl -pi -e "s/SSH_USER/$ssh_username/" Rakefile
      perl -pi -e "s/SSH_SERVER/$ssh_server/" Rakefile
      perl -pi -e "s/SSH_URL/$ssh_url/" Rakefile
  fi

  cd js/
  echo "What ender modules would you like? (ex: jeesh bean domReady underscore qwery etc...)"
  read ender_modules
  ender build $ender_modules
  cd ../
  echo "Almost done. Opening in TextMate."
  mate .
  echo "I'm feeling SASSY!"
  sass --watch stylesheets/less/styles.scss:stylesheets/css/styles.css --style compressed
}

I like this. I think I want to modify it so that instead of using a Starting Site Template, it clones a git repository (wordpress or magento) to start. Thanks for sharing this!

Awesome! Glad you like it - feel free to copy/modify it however you'd like. If you don't mind though, please link to your personal function you use with WP or Magento here, just so we can keep all of these things centralized?
