The following alias will make interacting with Homestead a lot easier.

# Homestead
alias homestead='function __homestead() {
    if [[ [email protected] == "config" ]]; then
        command open ~/Homestead/Homestead.yaml
    elif [[ [email protected] == "aliases" ]]; then
        command open ~/Homestead/aliases
    else
        (cd ~/Homestead && vagrant $*);
    fi
}; __homestead'

homestead config will open your Homestead configuration file
homestead aliases will open your Homestead alias file
homestead ... referencing any vagrant command off of homestead will forward the command accordingly. (e.g. homestead ssh to SSH into your Homestead machine)
