Typing vagrant from the command line will display a list of all available commands.

Be sure that you are in the same directory as the Vagrantfile when running these commands!

Creating a VM

vagrant init -- Initialize Vagrant with a Vagrantfile and ./.vagrant directory, using no specified base image. Before you can do vagrant up, you'll need to specify a base image in the Vagrantfile.
vagrant init <boxpath> -- Initialize Vagrant with a specific box. To find a box, go to the public Vagrant box catalog. When you find one you like, just replace it's name with boxpath. For example, vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64.

Starting a VM

vagrant up -- starts vagrant environment (also provisions only on the FIRST vagrant up)

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

Passwordless SSH/SFTP for dummies

To get SSH or SFTP access to a server without using a password you need to have a SSH key pair for each computer you want to be able to access the server from. In this document I’ll describe the steps you need to take to generate a key pair if you don’t have one already. If you do, you can use your public key(s) to get access to the server.

I'll also explain how to connect to your server using Cyberduck. Click here to skip to that part.

Disclaimer and stuff

This guide is written with newbies in mind, so I'm very thorough in describing the steps that you must take. This guide will not cover setting up the server side of this system. It assumes that there's a server running with SSH enabled.

WordPress escaping functions

esc_attr( $text );
Encodes the <, >, &, " and ' (less than, greater than, ampersand, double quote and single quote) characters. Will never double encode entities.
Example:

Introduction

C-a == Ctrl-a
M-a == Alt-a

General

:q        close
:w        write/saves
:wa[!]    write/save all windows [force]
:wq       write/save and close

You know how, in JavaScript, we can set a value to a variable if one doesn't, like this:

name = name || 'joe';

This is quite common and very helpful. Another option is to do:

name || (name = 'joe');
