If you are keen on developing against a local instance, I’d look into dual-booting Linux if you can afford the disk space. It’s what I do personally.

Otherwise your best bet is using [Theme Creator, create and show themes without installing Discourse!](https://meta.discourse.org/t/theme-creator-create-and-show-themes-without-installing-discourse/84942).
