##Get Startet

* clone the repository
* if you want/need hiera-eyaml-gpg support, place a private puppetmaster gpg 
  key without passphrase inside the vagrant directory, name it
  puppetmaster.gpg.sec, it will be importet, dependencies will be installed
* edit Vagrantfile{V3,V4} in line 25/26, set this to the pwd
* run yes_create_a_puppet_development_environment.sh
* decide which version and clients you need, the environment will be build
* you can just start coding within the puppet directories located in the
  vagrant directory. You could also move the existing code to an new git
  repo and modify the vagrant
  file to mount your new git.

##Transfer existing Code to new Git and mounting transfer the existing code to new git
