Local WordPress Environments

Today’s episode explores the range of local WordPress environments, starting with MAMP and making it to Docker, Vagrant, and Local WP. Brian discusses the built-in WordPress local dev tool, @wordpress/env and the state of documentation. Somewhere along the way, Aurooba explains the difference between mamp-stacks and Docker.

Local WP doesn't use Docker or any kind of virtualization anymore. Thanks for the correction, Andy! Learn more about that change here.
