@lazerbrains I literally just finished doing this about an hour ago (VVV + VV). Rather than Migrate DB Pro I just ran an import using Sequel Pro , but I do have this plugin already and will be using it often.

Since I have multiple installs, I went ahead and installed a simple dashboard gui: https://github.com/topdown/VVV-Dashboard

So far it’s a nice setup; thanks for the update.

Actually, this is what I was looking for: https://wpengine.com/support/best-practices-uploading-wp-engine-site-another-environment/

@lazerbrains I understand git workflows and WPEngine’s Git Push but I’m wondering what your local dev environment looks like.

I’m very familiar with VVV, but when I drop in the entire directory WPEngine gives you in a VVV site root it doesn’t seem to work without an entire afternoon of troubleshooting.

I guess my question is, why do they give you the entire site. Is there an option to just toss this into a local dev environment and be up and running.

I’ve almost got my setup good to go so I’ll post back with how I did it.

@lazerbrains how do you have your environment setup?

I’m following their git push documentation and they have you download the entire stack, not just the theme folder. Do you just git clone right into the www/ directory in VVV?

I want a seamless continuous integration setup. I find it strange they point you to a Smashing Magazine blog post on MAMP from 2011. I just can’t use MAMP.

Yup that sounds like the best solution at the moment.

Thanks for the reply.

Understandable, thanks.
