WP Local Push

Tool used to push changes to a WordPress plugin or theme that have been made on a local (staging) copy using Local (WP) to the live server using SFTP. No need to move Finder windows around anymore.

Requirements

• lftp
• fzf

On macOS:

brew install lftp fzf

Install

Option A: clone repo + run installer

git clone https://github.com/ffabbr/local-wp-push.git
cd wp-local-push
./install.sh

If wp-local-push isn’t found after install, add this to ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

First-time setup (wizard)

Run:

wp-local-push setup

• Create a config file at ~/.config/wp-local-push/config
• Add an FTP login entry to ~/.netrc
• Create an lftp bookmark so you can connect via a short name

Push a theme or plugin

wp-local-push push

Optional:

• --dry-run (show what would happen)
• --delete (delete remote files not present locally, use carefully)

Troubleshooting

wp-local-push doctor

Security notes

• Credentials are stored in ~/.netrc and that file is set to permission 600.
