Right now our process for getting a WordPress site running on a laptop sucks.
I'm writing it all down to help me figure out how to make it better.
- Install WordPress in your
~/Sites/sitename
folder, or pull down the existing site via FTP to that folder. - Init git repo or check out existing one into proper theme folder.
- Set up local MAMP server for project.
- Import existing database, or create new one with WordPress configurator.
- Configure local
wp-config.php
to point to appropriate places. - Set up Grunt compliation toolchain and make sure all tasks are working. You may just have to run
npm install
andgrunt
if the tasks are already there.
