Installs git_client from package or source. Optionally sets up a git service under xinetd.

This cookbook is concerned with the Git SCM utility. It does not address ecosystem tooling or related projects.

• Chef 12.5+

• depends 'build-essential' - For compiling from source
• depends 'dmg' - For macOS Support
• depends 'yum-epel' - For older RHEL platform_family support

Add git::default, git::source or git::windows to your run_list OR add depends 'git', '~> 4.3' to your cookbook's metadata.rb. include_recipe one of the recipes from your cookbook OR use the git_client resource directly, the same way you'd use core Chef resources (file, template, directory, package, etc).

• git_client: Manages a Git client installation on a machine. Acts as a singleton when using the (default) package provider. Source provider available as well.
• git_service: Sets up a Git service via xinetd. WARNING: This is insecure and will probably be removed in the future
• git_config: Sets up Git configuration on a node.

The git_client resource manages the installation of a Git client on a machine.

git_client 'default' do
  action :install
end

The git_config resource manages the configuration of Git client on a machine.

git_config 'url.https://github.com/.insteadOf' do
  value 'git://github.com/'
  scope 'system'
  options '--add'
end

Currently, there are distinct sets of resource properties, used by the providers for source, package, macos, and windows.

• package_name - Package name to install on Linux machines. Defaults to a calculated value based on platform.
• package_version - Defaults to nil.
• package_action - Defaults to :install

• source_prefix - Defaults to '/usr/local'
• source_url - Defaults to a calculated URL based on source_version
• source_version - Defaults to 2.7.4
• source_use_pcre - configure option for build. Defaults to false
• source_checksum - Defaults to a known value for the 2.7.4 source tarball

• osx_dmg_app_name - Defaults to 'git-2.7.1-intel-universal-mavericks'
• osx_dmg_package_id - Defaults to 'GitOSX.Installer.git271.git.pkg'
• osx_dmg_volumes_dir - Defaults to 'Git 2.7.1 Mavericks Intel Universal'
• osx_dmg_url - Defaults to Sourceforge
• osx_dmg_checksum - Defaults to the value for 2.7.1

• windows_display_name - Windows display name
• windows_package_url - Defaults to the Internet
• windows_package_checksum - Defaults to the value for 2.7.4

This cookbook ships with ready to use, attribute driven recipes that utilize the git_client and git_service resources. As of cookbook 4.x, they utilize the same attributes layout scheme from the 3.x. Due to some overlap, it is currently impossible to simultaneously install the Git client as a package and from source by using the "manipulate a the node attributes and run a recipe" technique. If you need both, you'll need to utilize the git_client resource in a recipe.

• node['git']['version'] - git version to install
• node['git']['url'] - URL to git package
• node['git']['checksum'] - package SHA256 checksum
• node['git']['display_name'] - windows_package resource Display Name (makes the package install idempotent)

• node['git']['osx_dmg']['url'] - URL to git package
• node['git']['osx_dmg']['checksum'] - package SHA256 checksum

• node['git']['prefix'] - git install directory
• node['git']['version'] - git version to install
• node['git']['url'] - URL to git tarball
• node['git']['checksum'] - tarball SHA256 checksum
• node['git']['use_pcre'] - if true, builds git with PCRE enabled
