### Issue Summary

Hi all

I try to clone an existing git repo into Local. It seems to work, but I get an error when loading the website. I guess I need to change certain settings in the wp-config.php, but I am not sure what. Anyone has experience with this? My goal is to use Local as a local dev environment and upload changes to the live wordpress site once in a while. But changes need to be pushed always to the same repo.

Thanks in advance and best  
Yannic
