[chef] Where to keep your <node>.json files?

[Torben Knerr < >]

Ohai Chefs,

where do you keep your <node>.json files?

My approach is to use `knife node upload from file <node>.json` whenever I need to change something on the node. Ideally, I would want to make sure that whatever I upload from-file must be already commited to version control for traceability reasons (I've seen some approaches to ensure this, but don't quite remember them...).

But where do you keep these files? I was considering to put them under chef-repo/nodes as the chef-repo git repo seems to be the right place for me. But since there is no such directory in the default chef-repo structure I was wondering if you guys know a better place for it?

Thanks,

Torben
