$ git submodule add git@github.com:brainbytes/docker-compose-wordpress.git
$ cd docker-compose-wordpress

The first time you run this, it might take a while to load especially if you haven't already downloaded the images. The next time will be WAY faster though.
Use docker exec <containername> wp, for example docker exec <containername> wp theme install quark. See the WP-CLI Docs for more info.
If you're creating a development environment from production data, the wp search-replace command may be useful, for example:
docker exec <containername> wp search-replace 'http://www.production-url.com' 'http://localhost:8000'
docker exec <containername> wp search-replace 'https://www.production-url.com' 'http://localhost:8000'

docker ps
winpty docker exec -it [container name or id] bash
