Awesome that you want to contribute! We really love it if people help us out!
In short, fork it and clone it like any other project on github. Checkout a new branch and send us a PR.
We use the standard chef way to add new cookbooks to this repo using knife. More info on this (http://docs.opscode.com/knife_cookbook_site.html)[http://docs.opscode.com/knife_cookbook_site.html]
The basic process is like this:
- Create and switch to a new branch.
- Make your changes.
- Test the cookbooks with the included
vagrant/directory. - Submit the PR.
Let's get started.
Make a new branch with a new descriptive name. For instance: add-docker-cookbooks.
git checkout -b add-docker-cookbooks
Then add the docker cookbook in the Cheffile:
site "http://community.opscode.com/api/v1"
# Community cookbooks
cookbook "mysql"
cookbook "apt"
...
cookbook "docker"
Then it's time to test your new cookbook or changes. You can do this with the supplied vagrant/ directory.
So cd into this directory and start the machine
cd vagrant
vagrant up
