chefdk-update-app

A little help when you want to update an appbundled project inside ChefDK.

Requirements

• You need to have a pre-existing ChefDK installation in either /opt/chefdk (for Unix-like distros) or %SYSTEMDRIVE%\opscode\chefdk (for Windows distros).
• You need to have the git command in your PATH.
• You need patience if this doesn't work out of the box every time :)

Usage

Clone this repository with and enter the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/fnichol/chefdk-update-app.git
cd chefdk-update-app

Choose a ChefDK "app" to update. If you don't need a list of options, run the help command.

For Unix distros:

./bin/chefdk-update-app.sh --help

For Windows distros from PowerShell:

& bin\chefdk-update-app.bat --help

Choose a Git reference to update your app to. This could be a branch name, tag, SHA hash, or even "master".

Run it!

For example, to update the "test-kitchen" app to release "v1.4.0.beta.2" (note that this project puts a "v" in front of release tags),

For Unix distros:

sudo -E ./bin/chefdk-update-app.sh test-kitchen -r v1.4.0.beta.2

For Windows distros from PowerShell:

& bin\chefdk-update-app.bat test-kitchen -r v1.4.0.beta.2

1. Fork the repo
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)

4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
