An opinionated bash function to expedite the installation and configuration of new WordPress sites in a local development environment. The script clones a fork of Mark Jaquith's WordPress Skeleton project, pulls in WordPress as a submodule, then writes the local-config file while also creating a new local MySQL database and sets up user perms.
