GitHub's Homebrew request
$ brew update
Error:
homebrew-core is a shallow clone.
homebrew-cask is a shallow clone.
To `brew update`, first run:
git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core fetch --unshallow
git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask fetch --unshallow
This restriction has been made on GitHub's request because updating shallow
clones is an extremely expensive operation due to the tree layout and traffic of
Homebrew/homebrew-core and Homebrew/homebrew-cask. We don't do this for you

Build Your Own Windows Vagrant Box

Intro

I have found myself needing to test on Windows frequently. I need to be able to spin up fresh virtual machines—Vagrant seems to be the perfect solution.
