So something like:

sudo /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/knife  cookbook upload apache2 -u
chef-webui -k /etc/chef/webui.pem -o cookbooks

# sudo -> because I'm using the webui key which has restrictive
permissions because I haven't created an user key yet
# /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/knife -> path to knife since I'm using debian rubygems
# cookbook -> subcommand
# upload -> option
# apache2 -> name of cookbook
# -u chef-webui -> user to authenticate as
# -k /etc/chef/webui.pem -> users secret key
# -o cookbooks -> path to folder where I have the cookbooks on my
filesystem I want to upload.
