Quick Create a new Wordpress install & setup Valet

This will setup a local wordpress install and setup Laravel's Valet to develop locally.

Requirements:

• Laravel's Valet https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/valet
• Wordpress's CLI https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/installing/

Notes

• Creates a Wordpress install in the directory you run the file from.
• Creates a new user login with user: admin, password: password. Probably a good idea to change those.
