Since version 2.5.1 of jshint it is possible to extend your own .jshintrc configuration from another .jshintrc config file.

This way you do not end up with the pain of keeping multiple configurations in sync. It's fairly trivial to use. In your .jshintrc configuration file add an extends field which points to the configuration you are extending from:

Thanks to Google I was able to find a one-liner for the conversion, pretty clever if you ask me (at least compared the complex bash and Python scripts I found):

Current situation: I have no local webserver running and just php5-cli (plus a few extensions) installed as most of the development I do will make use of a Vagrant machine.
