Enabling Xdebug on Vagrant and Profiling on Qcachegrind for Mac

To test the performance of the importer plugin I enabled Xdebug which is included in Vagrant's install of PHP. All you have to do to enable it is add the following lines to the php.ini file. Which is either etc/php/5.6/cli/php.ini for command line or etc/php/5.6/fpm for nginx. If enabling for nginx you need to restart nginx and php-fpm for it to take effect.

[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_append=0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir ="/vagrant/web/app/plugins/agreable-catfish-importer-plugin/testing"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "callgrind.out.%t-%s"
; For extra points you can also link xdebug with Atom, Sublime Text or NetBeans IDEs
