Getting Started

Create Project

Install DDEV

Choose a folder for your project and move into it:

cd /path/to/web/projects
mkdir my-project
cd my-project

Create The Project If you already have PHP and Composer running on your host machine (your computer, not Docker container or DDEV instance), you can run the following command
```
composer create-project viget/craft-site-starter=^5.0.0 ./ --ignore-platform-reqs
```
If you'd rather not set up PHP, you can create the project with a desposable Docker image (Thanks nystudio107).
```
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/app -v ${COMPOSER_HOME:-$HOME/.composer}:/tmp composer create-project viget/craft-site-starter=^5.0.0 ./ --ignore-platform-reqs
```
Start DDEV & Install Craft
```
ddev start
ddev craft install
```
Run ddev launch to open the project in your browser

Plugins

This starter includes common plugins that we use on most of our sites. This provides consistency and familiarly between client projects. You may not need every plugin, but avoid replacing standard plugins with similar alternatives (unless absolutely necessary).

Local Dev

Ideally, you should be able to clone this repo and make modifications to plugin & build tool configs with minimal fuss.

Run ddev start and make edits in a feature branch.
