1. Install the prerequiste software.
2. Install Vagrant Hostsupdater plugin vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater.
3. Clone Chassis into a new directory git clone --recursive https://github.com/Chassis/Chassis project-name.
4. cd project-name.
5. cp local-config-sample.php local-config.php – This file is used for local environment constants.
6. touch config.local.yaml.
7. Copy and paste the following into config.local.yaml:

hosts:
    - project-name.local
ip: 192.168.33.10
hostsupdater: yes

# Should we use multisite?
# (Set to Yes for subdirectories)
# Values: No, Yes, subdomains
multisite: subdomains

extensions:
    - chassis/sequelpro
    - chassis/xdebug
    - chassis/mailhog
    - chassis/phpmyadmin

1. git clone git@xyz.git content
2. vagrant up
3. Open http://project-name.local/wp/wp-admin/ in a browser.
4. Login using Username: admin and Password: password.

Note:
In case your themes and plugins are not inside the root of`content`, but inside content/wp-content, then be sure to add that path in `local-config-db.php` like so :

defined( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR' ) or define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/vagrant/content/wp-content' );

and also in the root file wp-config.php like so:

defined('WP_CONTENT_URL') or define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/content/wp-content' );

Migrating Database.

2. vagrant ssh
3. cd /vagrant/content
4. wp db reset
5. wp db import wordpress-2021-07-05-bb823aa.sql
6. wp user create yourusername youremail --role=administrator # will generate a password
7. Replace your uploads folder from content with new one.
