[Edit: This script is defunct since Local rebuilt the application and ditched the virtual machine. This script works only with the old “Local by Flywheel” and not with the “Local Lightning” app. For the latter, see my lbl script]
Local (by Flywheel) is great, but for a terminal type of person as I am, I find it way more convenient to SSH into a VM and use the WP-CLI to perform WordPress tasks. With a platform like Vagrant, one has the
vagrant ssh

With Local, you can do this with the push of a button in Local, but as said, I like the terminal better.
lbf ssh
is waaaaay faster than going to the Local app, find the site, click the SSH button.
But wait, there is much more ;) Continue reading “Handy script: lbf”
