Git branching and environments is exactly what we did to solve this problem. We are actually using gitolite which allows us to lock down who can push to certain branches. So anyone can create their own branch, push that up (which creates the proper directories through git hooks) and test with --environment [branch_name] and then when they know it works great, request a merge into our permanent environments like production and testing. Once the new code is merged into its final home, the temporary branch is deleted.
The hard part is the git hooks. We actually have a script that emulates the "Github" WebHook URL functionality and a hook that "catches" that POST and does all the magic. I included the web pages that helped me get our setup working how we wanted it to. https://github.com/metajack/notify-webhook https://puppetlabs.com/blog/git-workflow-and-puppet-environments/ On Thursday, August 15, 2013 8:14:59 AM UTC-6, Sandra Schlichting wrote: > > Hello all =) > > What I would like is a way so multiple people can make changes to all > files in /etc/puppet/, but only after they have tested their changes then > they "git push" so /etc/puppet is updated.
