Git clone the repo

Now we want to remove all wordpress files generated by Local and replace them with the files from the github repo.

When you it the site shell it will take you to the public directory in the terminal.

Macintosh HD/Users/User_Name/Local Sites/vmgd/app/public

We're going to delete the public folder and replace with the github repo

Public folder is currently where local expects Wordpress website to be. We will replace the public folder with git hub repo files.

Run the following commands in one command. The reason to run them in one command is if the git clone command fails you still have the public folder:

cd .. rm -rf public git clone [email protected]:what-works-global/vmgd.git public

Edit site.conf.hbs

Open the file with the Visual Studio Code.

Change:

root "{{root}}";

To:

root "{{root}}/wordpress";

Now Local knows the directory containing all the wordpress files is in a sub-directory of the public folder.

Possible Cases and Errors:

When it says permission denied:

stop the site in local (so that it doesn't recreate after you already deleted it)

and after that use the following commands in the terminal

sudo rm -rf public

which will remove the public directory.

When it says public folder not found:

Go to this directory

Macintosh HD/Users/User_Name/Local Sites/vmgd

cmd + Right click and open the app folder directory in the new terminal

and paste the following command in the terminal.

git clone [email protected]:what-works-global/vmgd.git public
