[chef] Re: Re: Test kitchen defaults

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

I’ll also point out that ChefDK just recently gained the ability to read your 
`knife.rb` config file, which means it is now possible to give ChefDK the 
ability to configure a default generator cookbook. The client team at Chef 
Software will get to this eventually, but if you want this feature right 
away, it should be an easy-ish patch. If you’re interested but need help 
getting started hacking on ChefDK, start a thread on the chef-dev list and/or 
join our CHEF office hours hangouts on Mondays and Wednesdays.
