4. Introduction =============== Everytime I write a puppet-manifest I thought, that it would be pretty cool to test the puppet manifest before I write my commit message. Because testing after the commit message via jenkins or something similar just blow up the commit messages and the reverted commit messages. Therefore I wrote this commit hook to check the puppet manifest before my commit.

5. System Requirements ===============

• puppet
• puppet-lint

both can be installed with distribution packages like debian/ubuntu

sudo apt-get install puppet puppet-lint

or with the gem-tool:

gem install puppet puppet-lint

3. Installation =============== The puppet git hook is for client side validation of puppet manifests. Therefore you have to install the hook at your .git folder of your puppet git repository:

   Example: cp pre-commit /path/to/your/puppet-git-repo/.git/hooks/

If done the hook will check your manifests every time you call git commit.
