VVV is a WordPress focussed development environment, giving you, the WordPress developer, a “default server configuration … intended to match a common configuration for working with high traffic WordPress sites”.

At Code For The People, we contributed to the functionality which allows automatic site provisioning within VVV; meaning that you can give your development team a few files, have them restart their VVV development server, and they are able to start work on a project without further fuss.

I will introduce some techniques we use in our site provisioning scripts to solve issues with private Git repositories and cover various provisioning methods (WP CLI, SVN, Git, Composer).
