[chef] Re: Re: How can we upload cookbooks from the command lines?

[Adam Jacob < >]

Ideally, though, you'll create yourself a user key:

knife configure --initial

(which will create you a key using the webui key)

You'll be prompted for the path to your chef-repo directory (which
should just be your local copy).  Once htat's done, you can just:

knife cookbook upload apache2

And you'll be good to go.
