Local WordPress, no terminal.
No MAMP, no Docker, no hosts file. A site is a noun with a state: you create it, it runs, you open it.
The steps
About one minute, start to finish.
One window. The parts the agent does come back with receipts you can reopen and undo.
- 01 New site → WordPressName it. ReDock creates the database, installs core, writes the config and issues a trusted certificate for https://name.test.
- 02 Wait for the green pillStarting breathes, Running blooms. "Ready" means a real /wp-admin/ answered, not a hopeful timer.
- 03 Open wp-adminOne click; the magic login signs you in. No password to remember for a site on your own machine.
- 04 Hand the agent the boring parts"Install WooCommerce, create a Shop page, set the permalink structure." Read the receipt.
What you end up with
✓ A WordPress site on real HTTPS with its own address
✓ PHP and MySQL you never installed and never have to maintain
✓ A receipt for every change the agent made, with Undo
