I’m working on another simple WordPress theme and Browsersync provides a great way to automatically refresh your browser whenever a change is made. Usually you would include a sync tool in the build tool of your choice (Gulp, Grunt, etc.) but this also works by itself. Open your Terminal, install Browsersync (npm install -g browser-sync), cd into your theme directory, and paste this line in for it to “watch” your theme folder.

browser-sync start --proxy "local.wordpress.dev" --files "*.*"

Note that you’ll need to update the proxy address with whatever your development address is. Since I’m using VVV in this case, mine is local.wordpress.dev.
