A Laravel Homestead toolkit to help with automation.

Homesteader - Laravel Homestead Toolkit

, _(*1)

Homesteader is a composer package with automation in mind. It's meant to simplify the workflow associated with Homestead, and it includes a suite of commands to manipulate Homestead's configuration file. Down the road it will assist with tasks like updating host machine hosts files, automatic reprovisioning, and fully automated scripting of Homestead configurations that can live in individual projects (think composer.json for Homestead)., _(*2)

Why

Homestead is a great use of a couple virtualization tools. But when using it within a team environment, the less steps needed to get the dev environment setup, the better. So this package attempts to simplify the homestead workflow even more than it already is. The ultimate goal is to ship a "homesteader" config file with a project and have it setup the local Homestead environment with a single command., _(*3)
