Set Up Bedrock Locally

🎯 Goal: Clone the Bedrock-based repository generated by the autolauncher and prepare your local development environment.

After launching your staging site using the autolauncher, a Bedrock-based GitLab repository is automatically created for your project. Follow these steps to clone the repository and set up your local environment:

✅ Steps

1. Ensure Prerequisites Are Met

   • Git Installed: Verify that Git is installed on your machine. If not, download and install it from the official Git website .
   • GitLab Access: Confirm that you have the necessary permissions to access the repository.

2. Obtain the Repository URL

   • Navigate to your GitLab repository in your web browser.

   • Click the Clone button, typically located at the top-right of the repository page.

   • Copy the provided URL:

     • SSH (recommended if you have SSH keys configured):

       terminal

       [email protected]:your-org/your-site-repo.git

     • HTTPS (requires Personal Access Token if 2FA is enabled):

       terminal

       https://gitlab.com/your-org/your-site-repo.git

3. Navigate to Your Desired Directory

   • Open your terminal or file explorer.

   • Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. For example:

     terminal

     cd /path/to/your/projects

4. Clone the Repository

   • Run the git clone command using the URL you copied:

     terminal

     git clone [email protected]:your-org/your-site-repo.git

5. Access the Cloned Repository

   • Navigate into the cloned repository directory:

     terminal

     cd your-site-repo

6. Set the Document Root to web/

   • Configure your local development server (e.g., Laravel Valet, MAMP, XAMPP) to use the web/ directory as the document root.
   • For Laravel Valet:
   terminal

   valet link your-site
   valet secure your-site
