[chef] Re: Moving from svn to git?

[Peter Donald < >]

Hi,

We haven't worked out a good process yet for tagging and managing promotion of cookbooks and configuration through environments so I would be interested in hearing about that from anyone who has a good story.

However we have been very happy with using braid ( https://github.com/evilchelu/braid/wiki/usage-and-examples ) as a way to vendor in external repositories or even as a mechanism of sharing cookbooks between projects. I highly recommend it.

Folks,

Okay, so now that we've actually launched the next-generation version of our systems architecture and we're starting to breathe again, one of the things we're looking at is moving away from svn and putting everything on git.

We've already got a company github account (in addition to my own), and we have a minimal baseline familiarity with it, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks, or warnings about pitfalls, etc... that we should be familiar with?


From what I've heard, I believe we're planning on using git-svn and svn2git to get at least most of our commit history, etc..., but if there are any better tools that we should know about, please speak up.  And if you've got any pointers regarding Best Practices with git, especially as that applies to Chef, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks!
