I use HomeBrew as my OSX package manager.

I'm using Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV) from 10up as a MAMP replacement.

I use Variable VVV (vv) as a wizard to spin up new sites in VVV.

It is worth noting that VVV uses NGINX, not Apache. Not a deal breaker for me, but could be for others.

Install HomeBrew (assuming this is Mac OS X)

Initialize

gitflow	git
`git flow init`	`git init`
`git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit"`
`git checkout -b develop master`

Connect to the remote repository

Install the WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS), WordPressVIPMinimum, and PHPCompatibility sniffs for use with PHPCS.

Install the sniffs, with git, into home dir…

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards.git
git clone https://github.com/Automattic/VIP-Coding-Standards.git
git clone https://github.com/wimg/PHPCompatibility.git

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

Don't do this:

/**
 * Enable SVG mime types.
 *
 * @param array $mimes Current allowed mime types.
 * @return array Updated allowed mime types.
 */
function prfx_custom_mime_types( $mimes ) {

	<?php
	/**
	* Increase the number of ACM posts that can be displayed in the ACM admin screen.
	*
	* For some unknown reason, ACM limits the display of ad codes on it's own management screens to 50 ads total out of the box.
	* More than 50 ad codes may actually exist in the database, but the ACM screen will only show 2 pages, 25 each, for a total of 50,
	* even if you have hundreds of ads codes stored in the database! Because of this you can never edit the ads that are on pages 3+!
	* Increase the number of posts that ACM will retrieve for the admin screen with acm_ad_code_count filter.
	* Increase the number of ads per paginated page with the acm_list_table_per_page filter.
	* It appears some sort of caching may be involved, leading to this unexpected/unwanted behavior.

	<?php
	/**
	* A "Proof Of Concept" Front Page template that displays the first gallery found in the_content, above the_content.
	*
	* The concept could be applied to any singular template, single posts, single pages, single custom post types, static
	* front page, etc (not really for archive pages, or blog home). The function
	* yourthemeprefix_remove_first_gallery_shortcode will then remove the first gallery shortcode that it finds in the
	* content, from the front page, so that we only output the first one once, above our content, and not again, within
	* our content.
	*

	<?php

	/**
	* Add params back to oEmbed provider request URL.
	*
	* WordPress runs the embed URL through urlencode prior to constructing it's oEmbed provider endpoint call.
	* This renders any passed in URL query params useless for Vimeo embeds (and probably others).
	* This filter function will decode those URL query param, and add them as proper query args to the provider URL.
	*
	* The first function param, $provider, is the oEmbed provider endpoint.

	<?php

	class StephanisAddition {
	public static function add_two_numbers( $number_one, $number_two ) {
	if ( ! is_numeric( $number_one ) \|\| ! is_numeric( $number_two ) ) {
	return null;
	}

	return $number_one + $number_two;
	}
