Hey; To put this in perspective, I'm a sysadmin, not a developer. While I've used git for a couple of years, until today, I could easily count the number of times I issued a 'git branch' command.
I'm practicing setting up a new puppet 4 server and, after some research, I've got various environments under git management and have successfully 'promoted code' from test through production. It's a wee bit tedious but I'm sure I could get used to it. What I'm hoping is to have someone more familiar the process verify I'm doing it somewhat close to right and/or make suggestions on an improvements. I have heard of r10k; however, I'm one of those that has to know what's going on under the covers. Up until now, r10k has been of of those 'developer' things. Once I run through this a few times, *then* I'll start playing with r10k. So, bit of a build up. Here's what I have: one git repo covering all puppet environments thusly:: # git branch -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/dev origin/master origin/prod origin/qa origin/test origin/uat On a different system, one pulls the test system, develops code, commits, pushes, etc. In the test environment, the admin pulls the updated work and tests # pwd /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test # git branch * test once the tests are complete, a responsible admin accesses the dev environment and executes: git checkout test git pull # if necessary git checkout dev git merge test Process iterates through the environments to prod. # git log --oneline e298de7 prod.rst: mved from uat 07f3ab1 uat: merged from qa a20a85c qa: mved from dev 2f644f2 dev: renamed from test c8c067b test: added a432124 puppet production environment initial check in Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestion.
