Knife Swap was created to manage multiple knife configurations. This functionality exists in knife-block, which I am a huge fan of, but it doesn't seem to have Windows support because of the way it works under the hood.
Needing something that works in both Linux and Windows, I decided to create my own plugin. This currently does not swap the Berkshelf config files. If there's a need for it, please feel free to open an issue.
chef gem install knife-swap
Knife Swap assumes your knife.rb files are set the way knife-block expects them to be with a small difference.
The knife configuration files would still be named knife-name.rb, but knife.rb is no longer a symlink. So, they would be set up like this:
- knife.rb
- knife-name.rb
- knife-another.rb
- knife-soforth.rb
| command | description |
|---|---|
knife swap |
List the current selected knife config as well as the available configurations. For whatever reason you have multiple knife configurations that are exactly the same but just named differently, the console will show you that you've currently selected multiple configs. |
knife swap CONFIG |
Sets your current knife.rb to the desired config. |
