If you’re a developer, Jetpack includes tools to extend and customize Jetpack to fit your needs.
Work in your local environment with Jetpack
When working on a theme or a plugin in your local environment, you can enable the Jetpack Development mode to use features that do not require a connection to the WordPress.com servers.
To use Jetpack in Development mode, you can add the following code to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG', true );
