If you have big sprint with big amount of task and put all of that into feature branch that you need to deploy (merge to master) then it is good to have one big final checkup before doing that. So what I do is this, go to your master branch and either make one temp branch from it like "master_temp" or do it directly there. For extra caution I use temp branch.

You want to check some environment variables values for your current setup. Log into mysql and type something like

In order to generate authenticated requests using curl we can use the session cookie from a session in our browser. How to find that? Sign in to your site in your browser. Then find the cookie that starts with either SESS, or SSESS followed by a random string.

We talked here https://www.drupaldump.com/xdebug-and-docker4drupal-mac how to setup docker and xdebug, most people use phpstorm, but you could also use sublime editor with it, install with package commander xdebug client and then you will need to do some additional manual setup

Usually people will just create one key with just default command 

ssh-keygen

If you are having problems with installing composer on your dedicated server try it like this

sudo curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

For drupal 8 you will probably use more complex framework with composer at leas but for drupal 7 you still might use drush just to download drupal core. So to do that into the current directory you are at, use this command

drush dl drupal-7.x --drupal-project-rename="../${PWD##*/}" -y

It will overrun everything you have in that directory.
