Let’s assume its time to work on that web project again. Maybe its the next day at work, maybe its the next year at work, but your boss wants you to work on that web project again. Worried about dependencies? Software versions mismatched maybe?
Don’t worry! We already built the development environment for the web project with Vagrant! Rebuilding is a snap.
Note: If you’re following along and haven’t already completely destroyed your virtual environment, please do so by running vagrant destroy so you can really experience this step of the getting started guide.
Are you ready for this? Go back to that web project directory and issue the following command:
$ vagrant up
That’s it! Really! In about 5 minutes or so after Vagrant completes setting up your environment, it should be exactly as you remembered it: same server layout, same dependency versions, no extraneous software, etc.
