FishPig WordPress Theme Builder

Composer package for the FishPig WordPress theme, enabling modern dependency management in Composer-based WordPress installations. Automated build process compiles from source and publishes to Packagist with semantic versioning when new versions are published.

#Problem

FishPig theme wasn’t available as a Composer package, making it difficult to manage in professional WordPress workflows that use Composer for dependency management, version locking, and CI/CD automation.

#Solution

Build a Github meta repository, that uses Github Workflows to watch the official Fishpig repository for new tags to be published. Once a tag is published, we build the WP theme files and publish the same tag.

Benefits:

• Version locking across environments
• Automated updates through Dependabot/Renovate
• CI/CD pipeline integration
• Professional dependency management

#Impact

• Modernized distribution aligned with PHP best practices
• Easier maintenance for Composer-managed WordPress sites
• Consistent deployments with version control
• Enterprise-ready for professional workflows

#Technical Highlights

• Docker GH Action to build compile theme from source
• Automatically published new theme updates on upstream tag release
• Allows stable automated WP deployments for Fishpig managed sites.
