# Where Did All The Previous Code Go? ## What You Get From This control-repo
Initially, the control-repo project began as a 'starter' template for anyone who wanted to get started with r10k. As time passed, and Code Manager was integrated into Puppet Enterprise, the scope of this project grew to include opinionated Puppet profiles to set up many Puppet Enterprise components. As the code increased, so did the complexity of the control-repo project. To reduce that complexity, as well as continuing to meet the needs of individuals who would like a more minimal template, this repository was stripped of anything other than the bare minimum files necessary to get started with a functioning This is a template [control repository](https://puppet.com/docs/pe/latest/code_management/control_repo.html) that has the minimum amount of scaffolding to make it easy to get started with [r10k](https://puppet.com/docs/pe/latest/code_management/r10k.html) or Puppet Enterprise's [Code Manager](https://puppet.com/docs/pe/latest/code_management/code_mgr.html).
control-repo.
All of the code that was previously in this repository still exists in separate repositories under the [Puppet Ramp Up Program namespace within Github](https://github.com/Puppet-RampUpProgram) and can be re-connected to an existing control-repo if that is required by adding the modules to the Puppetfile. Alternatively, if that previously opinionated control-repo is desired, [it still exists on Github under the Puppet Ramp Up Program namespace.](https://github.com/Puppet-RampUpProgram/control-repo) This control-repo project will remain a template for anyone who would like a minimal 'starter' template. The important files and items in this template are as follows:
# What You Get From This control-repo * Basic example of roles and profiles.
* An example Puppetfile with various module references.
* An example Hiera configuration file and data directory with pre-created common.yaml and nodes directory.
* These match the default hierarchy that ships with PE.
* An [environment.conf](https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.3/config_file_environment.html) that correctly implements:
* A site directory for roles, profiles, and any custom modules for your organization.
* A config_version script.
* An example [config_version](https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.3/config_file_environment.html#configversion) script that outputs the git commit ID of the code that was used during a Puppet run.
This repository is a template control-repo that can be used with r10k or Puppet Enterprise Code Manager. Here's a visual representation of the structure of this repository:
The major points are: ```
- An environment.conf that correctly implements: control-repo/
- A site directory for roles, profiles, and any custom modules for your organization. ├── data/ # Hiera data directory.
- A config_version script. │   ├── nodes/ # Node-specific data goes here.
- Provided config_version scripts to output the commit of code that your agent just applied. │   └── common.yaml # Common data goes here.
- Basic example of roles/profiles code. ├── manifests/
- Example hieradata directory with pre-created common.yaml and nodes directory. │   └── site.pp # The "main" manifest that contains a default node definition.
- These match the default hierarchy that ships with PE. ├── scripts/
│   ├── code_manager_config_version.rb # A config_version script for Code Manager.
│   ├── config_version.rb # A config_version script for r10k.
│   └── config_version.sh # A wrapper that chooses the appropriate config_version script.
├── site/ # This directory contains site-specific modules and is added to $modulepath.
│   ├── profile/ # The profile module.
│   └── role/ # The role module.

## Copy This Repo Into Your Own Git Server ## Copy This Repo Into Your Own Git Server
To get started with using the control-repo template in your own environment and git server, we've provided steps for the three most common servers we see: [GitLab](#gitlab), [BitBucket](#bitbucketstash), and [GitHub](#github).
### GitLab ### GitLab
1. Install GitLab. 1. Install GitLab.

3. Make a note of your repository URL (HTTPS or SSH, depending on your security configuration). If you use Puppet Enterprise and have not yet enabled and configured Code Manager, in addition to reading the official [documentation](https://puppet.com/docs/pe/latest/code_management/code_mgr.html) for enabling it, you may want to look at the Ramp-Up Program's control repository instead of this one. It's similar to this repo except that it has batteries includes, so to speak. There are pre-built profiles for configuring Code Manager, generating SSH keys, and setting up your Git server to work with Code Manager.
4. Clone this control repository to your laptop/workstation: * <https://github.com/Puppet-RampUpProgram/control-repo>
- `git clone <repository url>`
- `cd control-repo`
5. Remove this repository as the origin remote:
- `git remote remove origin`
6. Add your internal repository as the origin remote:
- `git remote add origin <url of your github repository>`
7. Push the production branch of the repository from your machine up to your git server
- `git push origin production`
