Modern WordPress Development Workflow – Part #1 – Local Setup

This is going to be a three part series about modern WordPress workflow. This is the workflow I use. I’m not saying it’s the best workflow out there but I think it is pretty good at least for me. I hope you will find this useful and apply some of the steps in this workflow to your own workflow.

In this first part I’m talking about options you have in setting up your local environment.

  1. Vagrant is the best localhost of all. With Vagrant you can clone your public production server, and you can be sure that your website/app will always work when you publish it. And you can also share your server with others through Git, so they have your exact setup as well.

    I would recommend anyone new to Vagrant to start off with ScotchBox.io for a localhost with pretty much everything you need for web development. It has everything from Apache (and Nginx) to Mailcatcher and databases. Neatly packaged and easily updated.

    When a client wants me to do something on their web, I usually take a look at their php info and clone their setup with Git and Vagrant. Neat, secure and saves a lot of time! 

    I can also recommend Adminer (from adminer.org), instead of phpMyAdmin. A little simpler, but often better and faster than phpmyadmin.

    Nice video tutorial, I like your design as well! :)

  2. Odakle ti ideja da na Win platformi PHP. MySql i Apache ne mogu da se instaliraju zasebno? :D
