WordPressify is a modern workflow for your WordPress development, with an integrated web server, that ties into GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab via WP Pusher.

Setting up MySQL Locally

The easiest approach to setting up WordPressify is to have a local instance of MySQL installed, this runs on the Mac and can be controlled MySQL from System Preferences.

• Download MySQL Community Server from the official site.
• Follow the installation instructions.

Connecting to local MySQL via Sequel Pro

I prefer to use Sequel Pro to connect to MySQL rather than using the command line. You can download Sequel Pro for free here.

• Open Sequel Pro.
• Choose the Socket option.
• Enter the Username and Password you created during the MySQL install.
• You should now be connected.

Preparing to install WordPressify.

• Create a new database.
• Create a new user or assign a current user the correct privileges.
• Keep note of the database name, username, and password. You’ll need these on the next step.
