Gazelle development using Vagrant
VagrantGazelle allows for convenient development of Gazelle, without going through the trouble of setting it all up yourself.
Vagrant uses virtual machines to allow for easy development in consistent environments. The setup linked above allows for development on your local machine and the Gazelle setup to run without altering your system.
Once set up, the Gazelle source files will be present in src/, which is shared to /var/www/ on the machine. A port forward from port 80 on the guest to 8080 on the host will also be established.
