Chef doesn’t offer a way to push code, as it’s designed more for maintaining 
servers.

As for pulling code, it’s not conducive to how chef works. What you want to 
do is ensure you have a local copy of the repo checked out to a given commit, 
which is what the git resource does. Chef is all about ensuring your system 
is in a specific state, so you describe what the system is supposed to be, 
not how it gets there.
