Pantheon development guidelines

• Live is read-only so plugins cannot be installed there as well as themes
• Plugins are installed via composer so if you will need a specific plugin instlled, you may need to open an Issue and get it approved
• Please work only on the environment that you are assigned to. Once you have access, here is how you can get SFTP access : https://pantheon.io/docs/sftp
• You can access the database here https://pantheon.io/docs/mysql-access
• You can access logs https://pantheon.io/docs/logs
• You can check the performance of the site through New Relic https://pantheon.io/docs/new-relic#monitoring-and-improving-performance
• If you will be bringing in configuration that you made from your environrment, you'll need to have this plugin https://pantheon.io/docs/wp-cfm#configuration-bundling to export the configs
• If you will be needing WP CLI access, you will need Terminus to do that https://pantheon.io/docs/terminus/install
• To know more about the Pantheon workflow https://pantheon.io/docs/pantheon-workflow

Local development

You may need to have a local environment that supports nested docroot like Lando https://docs.lando.dev/config/wordpress.html#getting-started to make this work locally.
