How I got git working with chef on windows

_readme.md

A bit hackish so far. Be sure to read:

http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2931

default.rb

include_recipe "windows::default"
include_recipe "windows::git"

=begin
# Doesn't work (yet?), see http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2931
git node.app.deploy_to do
  repository node.app.git.repository
  reference node.app.git.reference
  action :sync
end
=end

# using plain "git" won't seem to catch git.exe even if in the path, both for the git or the execute resource
git_command = [node.git.install_path, 'bin', 'git.exe'].join("\\")

# very basic, no symlink, no branch management etc git clone/pull work-around

execute "git clone" do
  command "#{git_command} clone #{node.app.git.repository} #{node.app.deploy_to}"
  creates node.app.deploy_to
end

execute "git pull" do
  command "#{git_command} pull"
  cwd node.app.deploy_to
  only_if { File.exist?(node.app.deploy_to) }
end

gem_package 'bundler' do
  version '1.0.22'
  action :install
end

git.rb

# extra recipe for git
windows_package "Git" do
  source node.git.source
  installer_type :inno
  action :install
  options "/DIR=\"#{node.git.install_path}\""
  not_if { File.exist?(File.join(node.git.install_path, 'bin', 'git.exe')) }
end

node.json

{
  "run_list": [
    "application::default"
  ],
  "git": {
    "install_path": "c:\\git",
    "source": "http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-1.7.9-preview20120201.exe"
  },
  "app": {
    "deploy_to": "c:\\app",
    "git": {
      "repository": "git@xxxx:/repo.git"
    }
  }
}

thanks! had no idea about inno this works.
it would be most awesome if the env path was set. as well.
