## Description

This plugin allows you to copy a plugin and (TODO:) theme to a test/sandbox WordPress(
local for now) installation.

This plugin is intended to be used by developers/designers who need a quick way 
to copy their plugins and themes to another (clean) copy of WordPress so they can
test their work.

Note: In future versions of the plugin it will support activation and deactivation
of the deployed plugin/theme. Currently, target plugin’s code is copied (from the
current WordPress installation assuming that that’s the development environment)
to a target WordPress test/sandbox site. The plugin must be activated on the target
WordPress test/sandbox site.

#### Why is the plugin needed?

When developers and designs work they work on one instalation they may not necessarily
catch some glitches. That’s why it is important to test the work on a fresh installation
and also on a WordPress installation that has many plugins.

#### Demo

#### Usage

You need to go to _Ditto_ > Deploy > Select the plugin that you want to deploy and
then Parent Target Directory of a local WordPress installation. The plugin will 
be copied in the sub-folder of the Parent Target Directory.

In the next releases the plugin will be able to deploy a theme to a test location
as well as to a remote location such as [http://qsandbox.com](http://qsandbox.com/?utm_source=ditto&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=product)
