[chef] Re: Multiple chef-repo with Berkshelf

Hey Mark,

If I understand your question correctly, you have the option to pass a config file to the berks command. e.g.

  berks upload —config==/home/blah/.berkshelf/config_A.json

  berks upload —config==/home/blah/.berkshelf/config_B.json

Thanks,

Brian

Subject: [chef] Multiple chef-repo with Berkshelf

All -

Currently I have three Chef instances, meaning three chef-repos, call them A, B, and C. (We are hoping to merge into one repo soon.) I want to use Berkshelf. However, Berkshelf creates its config.json file at $HOME/.berkshelf/config.json which means that the “chef”: portion is shared for all three instance.

Can I split this file into two, putting the “chef”: portion specific to my chef-repo at the chef-repo level while leaving the rest of the config.json at $HOME?

If I can’t split the file, can I just create the .berkshelf directory at the chef-repo level and have three, one for each chef-repo?

Thanks,

Mark
