Setup Your Local Environment

Install a fresh WordPress install locally. You can use MAMP, Flywheel Local, WP Engine DevKit, or other tools. We recommend one that includes WP-CLI.
In the My WPEngine, go to Backup Points, select the most recent backup, and click “Download Zip”. You could download a full backup (and skip the steps below for sourcing media from production), but for large sites I like doing a partial backup excluding media. Select “Partial Backup” and check everything but “Media Uploads”. Set the email address to your own and you’ll be emailed a zip file.
Copy over the appropriate files to your local WP install (themes, plugins). Do not include the mu-plugins directory; that contains WPEngine specific code.
Import the database locally, using phpMyAdmin, direct SQL query or Migrate DB Pro (pulling from production).
Update the URLs in the local database NOTE: Ignore this when using Migrate DB Pro. Using wp cli: wp search-replace $(wp option get siteurl) http://wp.dev/mywebsite, where the last URL is your local site’s URL. If you don’t have wp cli, try Search Replace DB.
Delete the theme wp-content/themes/[theme_name] and the plugin wp-content/plugins/core-functionality.
At the top level of the WordPress directory in terminal and run the following commands. This will pull down the version controlled theme and plugin.

git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:abstractwp/[repo_name].git
git pull origin pro
git fetch --all
git checkout dev

Using NPM, Composer, & WP-CLI without installation

WP-CLI

To access, in the Local by Flywheel interface right click the install name and click open site SSH
