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

# Homestead
alias homestead='function __homestead() {
    if [[ $@ == "config" ]]; then
        command open ~/Homestead/Homestead.yaml
    elif [[ $@ == "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)
