Add an environment
Create new environments by creating branches based on your control repo's production branch.
Before you begin: You must have:
- A control repository.
- A Puppetfile in your control repo's
productionbranch. - Configured Code Manager or r10k.
- Selected a code management deployment method (either the
puppet-codecommand or a webhook).
If you have multiple control repos, you can't repeat branch names
unless you use a source prefix. Go to Configuring sources
for more information.
- In your control repo, create a new branch based on the
productionbranch:git branch <NEW_BRANCH_NAME> - Check out the new branch:
git checkout <NEW_BRANCH_NAME> - Edit the Puppetfile to track the necessary modules and data for your new environment, and then save your changes.
- Commit your changes:
git commit -m "prepare Puppetfile for new environment" - Push your changes:
git push origin <NEW_BRANCH_NAME> - Deploy your environments as you normally would, either on the command line or with a webhook.
Results
Code management detects the new environment in your control repo and begins managing it, as explained in How the control repository works.
