As earlier discussed in the post, http://sunlnx.blogspot.in/2016/11/puppet-manifests-and-modules-in.html we shall add version controlling on /etc/puppet and since its important not to distub the main configuration, we shall create a branch out of it and once its all working fine, we shall merge it with master.
what and why is branching ?
Branching is a process of creating a new pointer that allows you to branch off the code and work on the same code within the safe environment where you are free to mess up and you can discard those changes and you could merge if you feel its correct. git offers that we could switch code from one branch to other and also by merging you don't have any duplicate code.
As earlier described in article(http://sunlnx.blogspot.in/2015/07/install-and-configure-git-centos-7.html), make sure you install/configure your git repository.
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git branch
* master
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git branch puppet-testing
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git branch
* master
puppet-testing
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git checkout puppet-testing
Switched to branch 'puppet-testing'
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git status
# On branch puppet-testing
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git branch
master
* puppet-testing
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
Now you can do anything you wish to the branch, like deleting, modifying ...
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# cat > git-branching.test
this is just an file created in puppet-testing branch.
we shall see how to merge this into 'master' branch.
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# ls -l git-branching.test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108 Nov 3 04:58 git-branching.test
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git add *
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git commit -m "Added git-branching to repos"

* [new branch] puppet-testing -> puppet-testing
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
Refresh you repository in github and you can see branch puppet-testing. you could also create a new branch again from 'puppet-testing' and it can go on as much as you can. something great that's more flexible on git.
Now in order to merge your branch, switch to master branch
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git merge puppet-testing
Updating 285446b..386d918
Fast-forward
git-branching.test | 2 ++
1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 git-branching.test
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git branch -d puppet-testing
Deleted branch puppet-testing (was 386d918).
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git push origin master
Password:
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
285446b..386d918 master -> master
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
[root@puppetmaster puppet]# git push origin --delete puppet-testing
Password:
- [deleted] puppet-testing
[root@puppetmaster puppet]#
You can now refresh your github.com and see there won't be branch available. checkout in your master branch the file was merged to master..
Thanks for re-sharing !
