Chef “Share This” script

I wrote this little script to upload the current cookbook to the Chef Supermarket.
It should be run from within the cookbook’s directory.

#!/bin/bash
knife cookbook site share -o ../ $(basename $(realpath .)) -c ~/.chef/knife-supermarket.rb

Where my supermarket config is as simple as:

node_name 'SUPERMARKET_USERNAME'
client_key 'CLIENTKEY_LOCATION'

Interesting points:

• I’m using a specific Knife config file (that references the Supermarket credentials file)
• The entire -o ../ $(basename $(realpath .)) bit tells Knife our “cookbook library” is .. (the parent directory) and the “cookbook name” is our current directory’s name.
  Assuming we’re running the script in ~/projects/cookbooks/backslasher-python, it’ll be similar to -o ~/projects/cookbooks/ backslasher-python
