Managing a number of chef installations/knife configs via a central one

knife-multi-project-config

# Enter this code alone in your ~/.chef/knife.rb
# The directory structure is expected to be like
# $HOME/Code
# $HOME/Code/ChefSetup1
# $HOME/Code/ChefSetup2
# Each of the project directories should contain their respective knife config like
#
# $HOME/Code/ChefSetup1/.chef/knife.local.rb
# $HOME/Code/ChefSetup2/.chef/knife.local.rb
# 
# In your terminal just do then
#
# cd ~/Code/EpicStartup/cookbooks
# knife cookbook upload base
#
# and knife will automatically use the correct server settings
#
# ln -s ~/.chef/knife.rb ~/.chef/shef.rb
# to use the same concept for your shef shell
#
# Declare here you project home
