Turn off browser caching for local DEV work?

[mosaiceye]

When using this docker file for local development, my local PHP file updates don't happen right away. How can I disable browser caching? For local dev, work? I'm currently using Kitematic (Beta) 0.9.4, with my WP code pointing to a local folder on my host MAC from within my User/Sites folder. Any ideas on how to change this?

This is heavily related to the discussion following #103 (comment).

I think it might actually make sense to remove the explicit setting of opcache.revalidate_freq from our default configuration, since the default value of 2 (https://secure.php.net/manual/en/opcache.configuration.php) for how often opcache will do a stat to determine freshness really ought to be a fairly reasonable compromise (especially since stat is a reasonably lightweight op, especially compared to recompiling the file).

(ie, it's not actually browser caching that's biting you, but the PHP opcache)

@yosifkit what do you think about either setting a more conservative value for our provided opcache.revalidate_freq or just using the more conservative default value?

Setting ours to be explicitly 2 gives us the same as the default, but also makes it obvious where the value comes from. (ie, the users know what they need to override)
