Create config.yaml from config.yaml.example as per the requirements.
- On minimum, you need to update following properties:
  - name: Preferred name for machine
  - cpus: Number of CPUs (Recommended is 2)
  - memory: 4096 GB Recommended
  - ports: This will allow you to access the port from localhost. If you are running a web server in port 8000, and want to access the same in local browser, you can set host: 8000 and guest: 8000. This will map the port 8000 from the local machine to the vagrant box in port 8000.

  - provisioners: They include set of tools that will be installed during provisioning. You can disable each by setting enable: false
  - note: Fot setting git, you'll need to get the token from GitHub developer settings. Otherwise, set git and repositories provisioners to false.
