Instructions for Installing Xdebug in a Mac with Laravel, Valet and Sublime Text

NOTE: This assumes that you have Valet, Homebrew, Sublime Text and PHP properly installed and functioning and will only focus on the setup and installation and setup of Xdebug. There are other tutorials that go into great depth explaining how to get those tools installed on your mac.

Let's get started right away!

# this can be useful when developing against a custom DNS server, or
# for example, if you made a change to the DNS settings of a domain, and you
# know the authoritative nameserver IP address for a domain, you could use this
# to bypass the intermediate DNS cache, and apply an HTTP request using the new
# DNS settings supplied by your specified (authoritative) nameserver

It is the goal of this checklist to give non-technical folks a leg up in these conversations so that they are less likely to get into lengthy (and very expensive) engagements.
