 * What will be the best way to setup a install that will have every plugin, and
   theme that I need as a base wordpress for a new project?
 * Im thinking on a github repository with the personalized install, but my issue
   is that I want to keep core wordpress up to date in the repo. Any suggestions
   or better ways of doing this?

 * Your idea will work. You’d have to make a database and edit wp-config.php for
   each site, of course. Once you clone the repo, you’d then have to login and update
   whatever needs updating.
 * Another option is to create a base WP install. When you want a new site, copy
   the files into a new directory, create a datababse, edit wp-config.php and go.
 * A 3rd option is to write a script that uses wp-cli to do it all with fresh installs
   of WP and the plugins.
