vagrant: Create Vagrantfile in current directory with the base Vagrant box.
$ vagrant init
try on your machine

The command "vagrant init" is used in the terminal/command prompt to initialize a new Vagrant environment.

When you run this command, it creates a new Vagrantfile in the current directory where you execute the command. The Vagrantfile is a configuration file that defines the settings and parameters for your Vagrant environment.

By default, the Vagrantfile created by "vagrant init" will use a basic configuration with a commented-out example. You need to uncomment and modify the settings according to your requirements.

Once you have customized the Vagrantfile, you can use other Vagrant commands like "vagrant up" to start and provision the virtual machine based on the configuration specified in the Vagrantfile.

In summary, "vagrant init" sets up a new Vagrant environment by creating a Vagrantfile that serves as a blueprint for configuring and managing your virtual machine(s).
