You might want to take a look at Librarian. It's like Bundler for cookbooks. It doesn't do anything at chef runtime as you described, but it can help you fetch all of your cookbooks up front.

I just want to bootstrap a single machine (my workstation). Do I

came to the conclusion that it is plain impossible within a single

reсipe to install git, do a cookbook checkout if its not present and

then execute a recipe from this cookbook.

If server has this functionality then client should have some stub

that executed when a cookbook is not found to fix that and then

resumes execution. Is it possible to plug into this stub with

chef-solo?

Hi,

Is it possible at all to create Chef recipe that will automatically

fetch required cookbooks for included recipies if required cookbook

is not found locally?

I am just starting Chef and I am using chef-solo.
