MULTI MASTER OR ENVIRONMENT SETUPS
----------------------------------
If you plan to distribute cdist among servers or use different
environments, you can do so easily with the included version
control git. For instance if you plan to use the typical three
environments production, integration and development, you can
realise this with git branches:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Go to cdist checkout
cd /path/to/cdist
# Create branches
git branch development
git branch integration
git branch production
# Make use of a branch, for instance production
git checkout production
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similar if you want to have cdist checked out at multiple machines,
you can clone it multiple times:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
machine-a % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
machine-b % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
