The "vagrant init" command is used to initialize the current directory to be
a Vagrant environment by creating an initial Vagrantfile.

# Init
**Command: `vagrant init [name [url]]`**
This initializes the current directory to be a Vagrant environment
by creating an initial [Vagrantfile](/docs/vagrantfile/) if
one does not already exist.
If a first argument is given, it will prepopulate the `config.vm.box`
setting in the created Vagrantfile.
If a second argument is given, it will prepopulate the `config.vm.box_url`
setting in the created Vagrantfile.
## Options
* `--box-version` - (Optional) The box version or box version constraint to add
to the `Vagrantfile`.
* `--force` - If specified, this command will overwite any existing
`Vagrantfile`.
* `--minimal` - If specified, a minimal Vagrantfile will be created. This
Vagrantfile does not contain the instructional comments that the normal
Vagrantfile contains.
* `--output FILE` - This will output the Vagrantfile to the given file.
If this is "-", the Vagrantfile will be sent to stdout.
## Examples
Create a base Vagrantfile:
```sh
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise64
```
Create a minimal Vagrantfile (no comments or helpers):
```sh
$ vagrant init -m hashicorp/precise64
```
Create a new Vagrantfile, overwriting the one at the current path:
```sh
$ vagrant init -f hashicorp/precise64
```
Create a Vagrantfile with the specific box, from the specific box URL:
```sh
$ vagrant init my-company-box https://boxes.company.com/my-company.box
```
Create a Vagrantfile, locking the box to a version constraint:
```sh
$ vagrant init --box-version '> 0.1.5' hashcorp/precise64
```
