• Navigate to your Homestead directory, for me that's:

  cd ~/Homestead

• Install NFS for vagrant:

  vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

• SSH into the VM (one of the following):

  vagrant ssh
  vagrant ssh %ip/hostname of the VM%

• Edit Homestead config:

  nano ~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml

• Within the file, add NFS to folders:

  folders:
      - map: ~/code
        to: /home/vagrant/code
        type: "nfs"

• When using NFS, you should consider installing the vagrant-bindfs plug-in. This plug-in will maintain the correct user / group permissions for files and directories within the Homestead box.

  vagrant plugin install vagrant-bindfs

Optional, but fun addition: Check out Oh-My-ZSH. It's pretty damn cool.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsh -y && sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
