For full instructions on creating and deploying chef customizations, see Custom Chef Recipes on the Engine Yard docs site.
- First install the engineyard gem.
sudo gem install engineyard - Fork this repository.
- Clone the repository from your Github account onto your local development machine. Be sure you do not put this inside of your app repository as nested repositories are not supported in git.
git clone git@github.com:<github username>/ey-cloud-recipes.git
This local copy of your ey-cloud-recipes repository will be the folder you work in when writing custom recipes for your environment.
- Add any custom recipes or tweeks to the base recipes of your own and commit them to HEAD.
- Upload them with:
