##Overview

Simple module that can install git or gitosis

##Module Description

This module installs the git revision control system on a target node. It does not manage a git server or any associated services; it simply ensures a bare minimum set of features (e.g. just a package) to use git.

##Setup

###What git affects

  • Package['git']

The specifics managed by the module may vary depending on the platform.

##Usage

###I just want git installed Simply include the git class.

include git

###I want to configure git using hiera

git::configs:
  user.name: 'test'
  user.email: 'test@example.com'
  core.filemode:
    value: false
    scope: system

If using the flat config syntax, options common to all items can be set:

git::configs:
  core.filemode: false
git::configs_defaults:
  scope: system

###I want to use git subtree with bash completion

include git::subtree

###I want to set my user.name and user.email

git::config { 'user.name':
  value => 'John Doe',
}

git::config { 'user.email':
  value => 'john.doe@example.com',
}

##Development

Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can’t access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

You can read the complete module contribution guide on the Puppet Labs wiki.
