We are possibly talking past each other here without completely understanding the points of the other side. My recommendation of MediaWiki-Vagrant was based on the assumption that you would run it directly on your host computer, not inside an existing virtualization container on that computer. I missed the concept that you are currently using a Virtualbox guest running Linux as your primary development environment with all git, Gerrit, etc actions performed inside that VM. This is also possible using MediaWiki-Vagrant, but potentially slightly more difficult to configure. It should not be incredibly difficult as git and git-review are both installed by default inside the MediaWiki-Vagrant managed Debian Stretch VM, but you would need to figure out what way you are comfortable in managing your ssh private key for communication with Gerrit. > Generally, I would like to avoid vagrant because it adds another level > to the learning curve for me. Fair enough. My counter argument would be that you previously stated that you wanted "a mini version of the WMF environment". MediaWiki-Vagrant exists to provide that in a relatively simple manner. It does however come with its own quirks.
