Berkshelf directory name from github cookbook


My custom cookbooks are stored in private github repos. When adding them to a Berkshelf project, they are added to .berkshelf/cookbooks as custom-cookbook-commit-number instead of custom-cookbook-version-number

My github repo has tags with the version. "Releases" has all of the version tags listed.

What do I need to change so the cookbooks become
.berkshelf/cookbooks/custom-cookbook-version-number?


Solution

  • Use the path location instead of git location in your Berksfile please:

    cookbook "artifact", path: "/Users/reset/code/artifact-cookbook"
    

    Then you need to clone your private cookbook from gitrepo and make sure they're up to date.
