Wppb generator

While WordPress developers seek to quickly start new plugin projects using best practices, modern development has shifted towards terminal tooling. The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate CLI meets this need by automating plugin creation directly from the command line.

Building on the foundation of the original WPPB generator, this CLI tool accelerates the process even further. Instead of manually downloading, unzipping, and moving files, a single command generates a new, ready-to-use plugin in your development environment.
