Nan Liu gave a talk at Puppet Conf 2014 about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoLE6JJU6mA I wasn't there in person, but I have been witness to it in an enterprise environment and it looks like a really good way to go for local dev. Instead of using a local puppetmaster you just just bring in a copy of your manifests and develop masterless. I think my only concerns with developing that way is that you won't get to test hiera in your environment, but that could be a misunderstanding on my part.
