If you use a git branch named 'master', you will just have to check it out into an environment directory with a different name, such as 'production', 'main', etc... It doesn't matter what you want to call the environment directory, as long as it's not one of those 4 you mentioned above, and git does not care what the name of the directory the files are checked out into. Puppet is not doing any sort of checking with git to see what the branch name is. ❧ Brian Mathis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
