For me, editing a Vagrant instance is not something I repeat often. So I made a quick post to help me remember and hopefully anyone else that may find this post on how to reload your Vagrant instance after making changes to your YAML config file. I use www.puphpet.com to generate my config.yaml file, which quickly gets my instance up and quickly gets me to realize that I fat fingered something and now have to make a change.

To start off, just simply get the id of the current instance you need:

# vagrant global-status

From there you will get a list of your vagrant instances. Choose the one you want to reload, then run the provision:

# vagrant provision 1234

That’s it, that should load all the new changes to your config.yaml file.
