You don't need a git 'server', git work well without centralisation, only on local machine.

That said, don't use a single repo with all cookbooks and "knife cookbook site install", at a time (soon enough) you'll end up with a lot of branches (one per cookbook) and incompatibles states between branches which will get knife cookbook site install unusable.

My advice would be to download the tar.gz from supermaket and extract it in your repo, you'll end up with something more usable.

Thanks for the clarification Morgan.
Will get started with a local git server.

knife cookbook site install requires git. Chef does not. You can accomplish the same thing manually but you will not be able to get that knife command to work with SVN.

Hi,

I am new to Chef and have been able to install the Chef server on an RHEL
machine and chef-client version 11.16.4 on a windows machine.

When running the knife cookbook site install <cookbook name> command on windows
I get an error stating that the folder e:/chef-repo/cookbooks is not a git
repository.

The setup steps for chef-repo state that it is not necessary to use git and one
can download the tar, extract it and then commit to the source control of
choice (SVN or CSV).

Is this correct? Is there a setting that needs to be changed to enable knife to
work with SVN instead of GIT?

Thanks,
Vikas
