@Jamie, Eric: thanks, exactly what I was looking for!

@Mike: thanks for the pointer to knife-github-cookbooks. Librarian I'm actually using already. My problem was rather that on my github account I wanted to separate the cookbook git repos from other git repos

Thanks guys!

Ohai Chefs!

Is it possible to specify the cookbook name in metadata.rb?

The trouble I'm having is that when I prefix my github cookbook repos with "cookbooks-" I have to make sure to clone them into the right directory, e.g. 'git clone https://github.com/.../cookbooks-apache2 apache2' so that I can use it as 'recipe[apache2]' and not 'recipe[cookbooks-apache2]'.

I didn't want to create a special github account for cookbooks only, still I want to be able to somehow group them.

Or any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Torben
