See existing directories in a Vagrant Machine

[JuanDavi Evora]

Hi,

I'm trying to have a look at an existing directory in vagrant, but looks like if I use  
config.vm.synced_folder it creates a whole new directory in the vagrant machine and I'm only able to see the files added AFTER the machine started up.


Is there a way to share the existing content of a directory?

Cheers

Hello.

synced_folder will mount in the guest a folder from the host.

Hello

The way I do it is, copy the content to a temporary folder. Mount, and then copy.

Once the files are in the shared folder, use git to make them part of the project.

Ok,

But it is more for temporal  data, like the logs of the programns running on the guest machine

in that case, if you mount a folder in the guest, the files will be created there. so will be available on the host.
