Is this the start of a series titled Modern WordPress Development? This is great stuff!

[@elliottrichmondwp]

It sure is, my channel will be dedicated to two types of content, one for users of WordPress and one for developers or users who would like to dip their toes into WordPress development 👍

Could you also show how to deal with wp-cli on windows?

[@elliottrichmondwp]

Ideally this is for UNIX-like environment (OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Cygwin); there is currently limited support in Windows environment

If only installing those tools was that easy! It has never been that way for me 🤔

[@elliottrichmondwp]

That’s why I wouldn’t recommend installing Nodejs directly which does cause issues, it’s much easier to use nvm, also if you already have Nodejs installed that may also cause issues 😩
