Drupal Ddev

This gives Claude the patterns for running Drupal sites locally with DDEV, covering the full workflow from initial setup through daily development. It's most useful when you're spinning up new Drupal projects, importing existing sites, or troubleshooting local environment issues. The Quick Reference section is actually comprehensive, with commands for database snapshots, Xdebug toggling, and Composer operations all scoped through ddev. There's also a solid chunk on macOS performance optimization using mutagen, which matters since Docker file sync can crawl without it. The custom commands example shows how to script common tasks like fresh installs. One honest note: the PHP deprecation warnings fix at the end feels tacked on but it's the kind of specific troubleshooting you'll actually need with newer PHP versions.
