Application_Git Cookbook

A Chef cookbook to handle deploying code from git when using the application cookbook.

Quick Start

To deploy from a private GitHub repository:

application '/srv/myapp' do
  git 'git@github.com:example/myapp.git' do
    deploy_key chef_vault_item('deploy_keys', 'myapp')['key']
  end
end

Requirements

Chef 12 or newer is required.

Resources

`application_git`

The application_git resource deploys code from git. It extends the core git resource to support deploy keys and disabling strict host key verification.

application '/srv/myapp' do
  git 'git@github.com:example/myapp.git'
end

Actions

All actions work the same as the core git resource.

:sync – Clone and checkout the requested revision (default)
:checkout – Checkout the request revision. If the repository isn't already cloned, this action does nothing.
:export – Export the repository without the .git folder.

Properties

All properties from the core git resource work the same way with the following additions:

deploy_key – SSH key to use with git. Can be specified either as a path to key file already created or as a string value containing the key directly.
strict_ssh – Enable strict SSH host key checking. (default: false)

DSL Usage

The application_git resource can be used directly as a replacement for the core git resource:

application_git '/srv/myapp' do
  repository 'git@github.com:example/myapp.git'
  deploy_key chef_vault_item('deploy_keys', 'myapp')['key']
end

Within the application resource, a simplified DSL is available. As with other application plugins, the default name of the resource if unspecified is the application path. The following two examples are equivalent:

application '/srv/myapp' do
  git do
    repository 'git@github.com:example/myapp.git'
  end
end

application '/srv/myapp' do
  git 'git@github.com:example/myapp.git'
end
