Cookiecutter Slim Berkshelf Vagrant

At the time of writing this README, Berkshelf is taking their sweet time with this issue Berkshelf#499 and it's driving me crazy.

Luckily for those of us that are impatient, there's cookiecutter!

Install cookiecutter

• See Installing Cookiecutter.
• Read Cookiecutter's features because this uses them

Prompts

Fork this project, modify the cookiecutter.json (on your own branch)

Usage

cookiecutter https://github.com/mahmoudimus/cookiecutter-slim-berkshelf-vagrant.git

This will clone cookiecutter-slim-berkshelf-vagrant in your ~/.cookiecutter repository.

If you want to clone the repository again (to create a new cookbook), do:

cookiecutter ~/.cookiecutters/cookiecutter-slim-berkshelf-vagrant

Aliasing berks

Put this in your .bashrc or .zshrc

alias sane-berks-cookbook='cookiecutter ~/.cookiecutters/cookiecutter-slim-berkshelf-vagrant'

Then from your prompt:

sane-berks-cookbook

and follow the prompts.

Create a cookbook

cd ${DIRECTORY_YOU_WISH_TO_CREATE_THE_COOKBOOK_IN}
cookiecutter ~/.cookbooks/cookiecutter-slim-berkshelf-vagrant

OR if you've aliased berks

sane-berks-cookbook

Follow the prompts.

vagrant up

Will launch a new vagrant machine.

Remember, you can modify your cookiecutter.json file to not be prompted by a bunch of stupid questions. Read the installation instructions.
