Creating a Custom Cookbook Generator

There are a few resources on the internet today about creating custom cookbook generators. The most popular is chef-gen-flavors.

These resources are generally pretty meta and slightly hard to understand, so I'm going to walk you through customizing a cookbook generator from the ground up. To do this we're going to start with a great generator called pan. After we customize the generators we're going to build the gem and install it locally.

One thing to know about chef-gen-flavors is that its heavily name based, so where-ever you see Pan and I'm replacing it with awesomesauce, you can replace with whatever the name of your flavor is, but it must be replaced in all of the same places.

Run: supermarket-ctl cleanse

Wait the 60 seconds.

mkdir -p /etc/supermarket

cleanse made a backup of your config in /root/supermarket-cleanse-2016-01-*

restore supermarket.rb from there to /etc/supermarket/
