I haven't used localgov, but made a couple of comments to update this.
Overall, it looks like way too many words to get the job done. I think people might stumble over so much text. I'm pretty sure this is very simple and straightforward and can be described more tersely.
I don't think there needs to be any apology or defense of switching to a standard technique like DDEV or Lando, and there's not really a reason to be talking much about the docker provider, as that's more of less invisible to the user. And I would think people would already be there by now, I don't know.
It seems like this has probably been ignored for a really long time or it wouldn't still be written like this. I think it was already way too wordy, probably too many cooks in the kitchen on it.

Thanks @rfay, great suggestions. And I do agree that the instruction is far too wordy, but I decided to stay focused on getting the process right. We can always create a "tighten up DDEV instructions" as a follow up :) |
What does this change?
See also DDEV issue:
Getting started
Working with DDEV
A total re-write, most importantly:
How to test
Check the updated instructions and text on the pages, and verify following them results in a working LGD installation in DDEV.
How can we measure success?
Same as above.
Have we considered potential risks?
There shouldn't be any.
