Development

• Fork project
• Create topic branch in your fork for a given patch/feature
• vagrant init && vagrant up # this will give you data to work with
• Install RVM (if not installed)
• Create gemset for the patch/feature
• Activate rvm/gemset
• Install bundler (gem install --version 1.7.15 bundler) # It has to be before version 1.8 which is a vagrant dependency
• bundle install
• rake
• bundle exec vagrant vbinfo

If this works, you'll see json output for each configured VM in the Vagrantfile. When you're done with your patch/feature, submit a pull request, comparing your topic branch to the vbinfo develop branch. Simply run rake to run the integration tests.

To Do

• Possibly add support for Windows users
