Hi, We would like to use vagrant/homestead for our laravel project. we're working with 3 colleagues and want to run all on the same settings. what is best practice to share those settings via git? adding my whole envoirement to git? or only my yml settings? Bart
Hi @BartHuis ,
AFAIK you can just share the Homestead.yml file (via git or something like this). As this contains the Homestead setup.
Of course this would mean that the settings in that file need to match the environments (docroot paths etc) of your colleagues .
Thanks. I'll try some. If somebody has some better idea's, let me know :)
As i know, homestead is for local environment. so if you want have same environment you need to install with a same configuration.
Like @Guardian said, you can share Homestead.yml and /etc/hosts configuration to your colleagues.
and then run vagrant up --provision
with only transfering the yaml, its works fine for the first setup, let's see how it works out when we got more code transfering by git and everybody does the migrations.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
