Salt stack master to use remote git for both pillar and state files
##
## Use-case: Host in a remote git (on a ssh-able host) both pillars and states on Salt Stack 0.17.x
##
## See thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/salt-users/bOz2cdY-pnY
#
# Salt stack master and minion procedure, short version:
#
# - On the Master:
#
# wget -O - http://bootstrap.saltstack.org | sudo sh -s -- -M git v0.17.0
# sudo sh -c 'echo "master: INTERNAL_IP_GOES_HERE" >> /etc/salt/minion.d/master.conf'
# sudo service salt-minion restart
# sudo service salt-master restart
#
# - On the Minions:
#
# wget -O - http://bootstrap.saltstack.org | sudo sh -s -- git v0.17.0
# sudo sh -c 'echo "master: INTERNAL_IP_GOES_HERE" >> /etc/salt/minion.d/master.conf'
#
# - On the Master, continue with:
#
# sudo salt '*' pkg.install python-pip,python-virtualenv
# sudo salt '*' pkg.latest_version python-git
#
# - Copy contents of this file in a salt-master node in `master.d/` folder
# with a file name ending by `.conf`, e.g.: `/etc/salt/master.d/sample.conf`
#
# - Restart the services
#
# salt '*' service.restart salt-minion
# salt-call service.restart salt-master
