SVN would be ideal since WordPress Core is based on that.
However there's also a GIT repository that mirrors every 15 minutes: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress

GIT might be easier to setup on a clean OSX install.

Or, try to extract it from Brew (formula)?

We need to be careful with this as there might be working files from the user, however ideally when doing revert it should restore the initial state, thus removing any new file that could have been created.

Use case: a patch doesn't just edit files, it also adds new files. So when the patch is re-applied, the files gets doubled up, and break.

Maybe a question after it runs if it detects such files?

The install script should make sure that PHP is enabled on Apache before running.

The install command should be able to setup MySQL in a zero-configuration way, with zero or close to zero interactions.

Maybe something borrowed from brew, see here.

I was trying to apply a patch today and came across these issues:

From the root directory in terminal, I typed wpdo patch https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/40702/40702.diff and got this:

It also created a src directory which I had to delete afterwards.

Is this an issue with how wpdo patch works, or with the patch itself?

Install SVN... or suggest at least a way to install it.

It should be possible to also upload a patch from it, not just try it out.

WPdo should reach a point where these instructions are the way to get started:

1. Type curl -s http://example.org/wpdo | bash -s install in Terminal
2. Wait for installation to complete (bin, Apache, MySQL, SVN)
3. Done! Now WPdo is availble.

On install, WPdo should move to a system folder to be always available.
The same script should also make sure the latest version is installed, ideally.

brew might make all the tasks here simpler.

Pros:

• All handled by brew

Cons:

• Introduces a dependency
• We have no control on where the files are being put

If this gets introduced, it's important to introduce both the install and the uninstall script at the same time. Check also different package managers.
