I mentioned in my recent article about Git Subtree that I think the whole workflow is probably better managed with Composer. And that while I abstractly think that Composer is great idea for WordPress projects, I don’t particularly feel ready to use it in earnest.

Over on the WebDevStudios blog, Joe Murgel put together a great little write-up of how we used Laravel Homestead to host WordPress installations, and why and how you might do it too. For the uninitiated, Homestead is nice little project that’s branched off from the PHP framework Laravel which is made to provision modern PHP servers in Vagrant easily for local development.
