I am working on setting up Vagrant for Windows 10 and experimenting with Virtualbox, HyperV, and VMware Workstation. I have tested and discarded HyperV for now, there are just too many bugs and challenges with networking and mounting shared folders. I really wanted to use HyperV since it is required if you want to install and use Docker4Windows, and I wanted to use a completely Microsoft/Windows toolset. But - both D4W and HyperV are still WIP.
VMware Workstation is TBD
NOTE - All of these examples are built/run using Windows 10 "Holiday Edition" and PowerShell.
You will need at least these 2 utilities:
- [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/ - Grab the Windows 64bit version
- [VirtualBox] (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) - No explanation needed
There are many tutorials out there on getting Virtualbox and Vagrant installed so I won't try to replicate them here but there are some things I highly recommend you setup and configure on your laptop.
- ConEmu - Windows terminal replacement can be configured to give "iterm like" functionality
- Visual Studio Code - Free and lightweight version of Visual Studio
Powershell wrapper function for git:
function gpush {
Param($message)
git add -A; git commit -m $message; git push origin master
