It can be very difficult to get a Magento 2 development environment setup quickly & easily. With this screencast, you'll understand the basics of configuring and managing a development environment in no time.
At the end of this course you'll have an extremely performant development environment setup that is easy to use, one which you can setup to your exact specifications, and a config you can actually manage yourself. I'll also walk you through setting up Xdebug within PHPStorm, so you can set & debug breakpoints like the master PHP developer you are.
You do not need to understand Docker to use this setup, as simple helper scripts abstract away the complexity and allow you to administer your Magento instance without hassle.
Based on Mark Shust's Docker Configuration for Magento
The most popular development environment for Magento.
Standardize dev environments
When everyone on your team is using a different development environment, things don't run smoothly. Issues within one developer's environment could take many hours or days to diagnose, and throw your entire project off schedule.
By standardizing your entire fleet of developers on a single development environment, you can help achieve parity & consistency across all of your development efforts.
Open source
Full source code is available on GitHub, allowing you to fork the code and modify it for your own project's needs.
1,000+ stars on GitHub

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to understand Docker to take this course?
- Docker experience is helpful, but definitely not necessary. The bash helper scripts I wrote help abstract away most of the Docker commands, so you can focus on what you do best: programming Magento and getting your storefront up & operational.
- Will this work with Mac, Windows & Linux?
- The course assumes you are running macOS, but works just fine on Linux with some tweaks. It also works on Windows with WSL 2.
- How much does the course cost?
- The course is completely free! Enjoy.
