Is there a way to add an existing local (not the app - on my computer) dev environments to the Local App. Essentially using existing wp-content folder and database or duplicating it by making a copy?
Hey, there. I played around with using the “Import Archive” feature to try to do this with an old MAMP site, but wasn’t successful. I’ll see if I can find more info on how that feature works and what it’s looking for.
In the meantime, you can always spin up a new site with Local and replace its database and wp-content folder with your other (literally) local site’s. You might need to update the database and/or wp-config file a little to change the URL and prefix, but that should be a viable workaround.
Thanks! That was my thought as well. The archive thing looked promising but I couldn’t find any docs to explain how the archive would be created.
Manually creating them works too, but way more work…hmmm.
Let me know if anything pops up.
Gadzooks. There must be a way to develop on two machines easily. Like a lot of folks, I work part of my day in the office and part of my day late at night on the home computer.
