Herd is great! Using the Windows version since it was released on a daily basis and as a replacement for Local by Flywheel. Adding DBngin and TablePlus makes it an awesome development toolkit!
Interesting, I haven’t used Herd, but I do use Valet, which, as you probably know, is more command-line driven. The only difference is that you have an app with a UI with Herd, I guess. It would be interesting to see if Valet is actually being used under the hood. I also use WP-CLI and a generic script to fire all commands with prompts for database names, usernames, emails, and passwords, etc. Nice video and insight-always interesting to see other devs’ workflows. 👍
Copying my reply above: Less bloat, more performant, more actively developed, easier to switch between WP and non-WP projects, and I guess a chance to level up your developer skills.
Thanks Brian. I'm on Windows and I'm stuck on 3:53 because I'm not sure where 'wp' is. :( Crap. I have to install wp-cli. Lol. Thank you for mentioning that. >:( UPDATE: Was able to set up wp-cli. Manually set up a path. However, DBngin did not create a path to mysql as 'wp db create' does not recognize mysql. I tried to manually find mysql.exe and set a path to it. wp-cli still cannot find it. I GIVE UP. LOL.
Yeah one issue I had is that I have a lot of these tools already running and I don't fully remember how I set some of them up.... When I run wp --info I see that it's calling the MySQL binary that I guess I installed at some point with Homebrew. Interesting.
No but I've heard a lot of good things about it! Honestly each project ends up needing it's own environment depending on the tools, where it's hosted, etc.
I like that it's just leaner and faster. It's more actively developed. It's also great if you're doing more than just WordPress development, you don't have to switch environments. But there'll be a few WP hosting-specific features in LocalWP that you might miss.

Awesome! Thanks! )
Thank you for the instructions. A very good method for me as a beginner to learn how to use the command line.
Thanks for sharing! It’s great to see that Herd could be used for both Laravel and WordPress development.
PHP FTW

love the new camera, looks better quality
Thanks for noticing. I have some lighting tweaks in the works and will hopefully test those on the next video.
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing Brian - subscribed!
Hey Brian - just wondering if it's easy to export a site using something like WPVivid from this local environment?

They have windows support. I use it everyday.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Great video, what benifits we get if we skip tools like Local or Xamp etc

Oops. Not on windows. Okay. Thanks for the video though. You're doing great
They do have a Windows version. Just click the "Looking for Windows?" button
@@elvisblancogonzalez Ah! Yes! That's true. Thanks!
Thanks for correcting this!

Have you tried DDEV? You don't get that nice GUI but I think you can get up and running faster and you end up with a really flexible dev environment
No but I've heard a lot of good things about it! Honestly each project ends up needing it's own environment depending on the tools, where it's hosted, etc.
Brian, what makes Herd better than a tool like LocalWP?
I like that it's just leaner and faster. It's more actively developed. It's also great if you're doing more than just WordPress development, you don't have to switch environments.
But there'll be a few WP hosting-specific features in LocalWP that you might miss.
No Linux support for this apps :(
You can use, various version of Valet, is similar but no UI, i recommend Valet++
😬
Yes, I was excited than found no Linux support.
@@khandakershahi for now DDEV is working fine on linux, has phpmyadmin, wp-cli, local ssl and domain, ...
What are the benefits of this over Flywheel Local or the similar tool from WordPress?
Less bloat, more performant, more actively developed, easier to switch between WP and non-WP projects, and I guess a chance to level up your developer skills.
Get off the stage, Brian!
Hey it's my biggest fan!
