Overview

This modules has to main purposes:

  • Manage the static data associated with the git package
  • Provide a wrapper around binaries in the git package that are useful inside Puppet configuration

Module Description

The static data associated with the binaries contained in the git package are stored in a puppet module data Hiera store. This allows higer level Hiera lookups to override binary paths, configuration files, etc...

Setup

puppet module install bi-bi_git -i /path/to/moudles

Usage

Consistent static data

To use the statc data (for instance in another class or define):


define my_define() {
    include ::bi_git
    ...
    notice("The git binary is $::bi_git::exe_path")
}

This allows an end user a consistent location to obtain the binary paths of executables that will be updated via the module data for each platform (or overridden for custom binaries).

Executable wrappers

The binary wrapper for useful programs contained in git for example:


define my_define() {
    bi_git::clone { 'https://github.com/riywo/anyenv':
        local_dir => '/tmp/anyenv1',
        user => 'vagrant',
    }
}

To clone a repository.
