About WordPress/wordpress-develop
WordPress Develop is the official development repository for WordPress, the world's most popular content management system. It serves as a Git mirror of the WordPress subversion repository, providing access to the full source code across all branches and tags. The project is built with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, making it a substantial full-stack application used by millions of websites globally.
The repository is designed for contributors and developers who want to participate in WordPress core development. Contributors can report bugs, submit patches, write tests, create documentation, and contribute in other ways by following the contributor handbook guidelines. The development workflow relies on ticket tracking through the official trac system, and contributors are expected to link pull requests to existing tickets on core.trac.wordpress.org.
Setting up a local development environment involves Docker and Node.js, with the repository providing comprehensive tooling for testing and building. Developers can run the full PHP and end-to-end test suites, use WP-CLI for site administration, watch for file changes during development, and generate code coverage reports. The project maintains strict quality standards for GitHub Actions workflows, requiring them to pass both Actionlint and Zizmor security scanners before deployment.
