Recently, I've been wanting to get more involved with open source, or more accurately, start actually contributing to it. My initial idea was to build a tool that could be quickly cloned via git and used as a base setup for someone who doesn't know how to use Vagrant. This was initially something I called angry-hobo, it worked for a little while, but was a great mess. It didn't work quite right in my opinion.
Here's a list of things that needed improvement:
- angry-hobo cloned a scaffold vs generated a scaffold
- angry-hobo left .git artifacts after cloning which required to be cleaned
- angry-hobo included the Chef cookbooks in the repo, which I later opted against
