For the longest time I was in the boat of "just zip it and upload it through the Admin Panel" until I started working with the customizer. Since those options are theme specific and when you upload a new zip it treats it as a whole new theme. All of the customizer options would be lost. This way's so much more efficient.

I had a similar approach and it wasn't great. I really wish there were better (easier) and more standarized tools to develop for Wordpress and Wordpress plugins.

I've definitely started looking in to using Docker for WordPress. It saves a lot of time in the initial install and running of the sites.

Interesting. I didn't think of Docker so thanks for the tip. I will give it a try!
