+Deprecated
+==========
+
+Use of this repository is deprecated. We recommend using the `chef generate repo` command that comes with [ChefDK](http://downloads.chef.io/chef-dk/).
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Every Chef installation needs a Chef Repository. This is the place where cookbooks, roles, config files and other artifacts for managing systems with Chef will live. We strongly recommend storing this repository in a version control system such as Git and treat it like source code.
+
+While we prefer Git, and make this repository available via GitHub, you are welcome to download a tar or zip archive and use your favorite version control system to manage the code.
+
+Repository Directories
+======================
+
+This repository contains several directories, and each directory contains a README file that describes what it is for in greater detail, and how to use it for managing your systems with Chef.
+
+* `cookbooks/` - Cookbooks you download or create.
+* `data_bags/` - Store data bags and items in .json in the repository.
+* `roles/` - Store roles in .rb or .json in the repository.
+* `environments/` - Store environments in .rb or .json in the repository.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+The repository contains a knife configuration file.
+
+* .chef/knife.rb
+
+The knife configuration file `.chef/knife.rb` is a repository specific configuration file for knife. If you're using Hosted Chef, you can download one for your organization from the management console. If you're using the Open Source Chef Server, you can generate a new one with `knife configure`. For more information about configuring Knife, see the Knife documentation.
+
+https://docs.chef.io/knife.html
+
+Next Steps
+==========
+
+Read the README file in each of the subdirectories for more information about what goes in those directories.

+This directory contains the cookbooks used to configure systems in your infrastructure with Chef.
+
+Knife needs to be configured to know where the cookbooks are located with the `cookbook_path` setting. If this is not set, then several cookbook operations will fail to work properly.
+
+    cookbook_path ["./cookbooks"]
+
+This setting tells knife to look for the cookbooks directory in the present working directory. This means the knife cookbook subcommands need to be run in the `chef-repo` directory itself. To make sure that the cookbooks can be found elsewhere inside the repository, use an absolute path. This is a Ruby file, so something like the following can be used:
+
+    current_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
+    cookbook_path ["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks"]
+
+Which will set `current_dir` to the location of the knife.rb file itself (e.g. `~/chef-repo/.chef/knife.rb`).
+
+Configure knife to use your preferred copyright holder, email contact and license. Add the following lines to `.chef/knife.rb`.
+
+    cookbook_copyright "Example, Com."
+    cookbook_email     "cookbooks@example.com"
+    cookbook_license   "apachev2"
+
+Supported values for `cookbook_license` are "apachev2", "mit","gplv2","gplv3",  or "none". These settings are used to prefill comments in the default recipe, and the corresponding values in the metadata.rb. You are free to change the the comments in those files.
+
+Create new cookbooks in this directory with Knife.
+
+    knife cookbook create COOKBOOK
+
+This will create all the cookbook directory components. You don't need to use them all, and can delete the ones you don't need. It also creates a README file, metadata.rb and default recipe.
+
+You can also download cookbooks directly from the Opscode Cookbook Site. There are two subcommands to help with this depending on what your preference is.
+
+The first and recommended method is to use a vendor branch if you're using Git. This is automatically handled with Knife.
+
+    knife cookbook site install COOKBOOK
+
+This will:
+
+* Download the cookbook tarball from cookbooks.opscode.com.
+* Ensure its on the git master branch.
+* Checks for an existing vendor branch, and creates if it doesn't.
+* Checks out the vendor branch (chef-vendor-COOKBOOK).
+* Removes the existing (old) version.
+* Untars the cookbook tarball it downloaded in the first step.
+* Adds the cookbook files to the git index and commits.
+* Creates a tag for the version downloaded.
+* Checks out the master branch again.
+* Merges the cookbook into master.
+* Repeats the above for all the cookbooks dependencies, downloading them from the community site
+
+The last step will ensure that any local changes or modifications you have made to the cookbook are preserved, so you can keep your changes through upstream updates.
+
+If you're not using Git, use the site download subcommand to download the tarball.
+
+    knife cookbook site download COOKBOOK
+
+This creates the COOKBOOK.tar.gz from in the current directory (e.g., `~/chef-repo`). We recommend following a workflow similar to the above for your version control tool.

+Data Bags
+---------
+
+This directory contains directories of the various data bags you create for your infrastructure. Each subdirectory corresponds to a data bag on the Chef Server, and contains JSON files of the items that go in the bag.
+
+First, create a directory for the data bag.
+
+    mkdir data_bags/BAG
+
+Then create the JSON files for items that will go into that bag.
+
+    $EDITOR data_bags/BAG/ITEM.json
+
+The JSON for the ITEM must contain a key named "id" with a value equal to "ITEM". For example,
+
+    {
+      "id": "foo"
+    }
+
+Next, create the data bag on the Chef Server.
+
+    knife data bag create BAG
+
+Then upload the items in the data bag's directory to the Chef Server.
+
+    knife data bag from file BAG ITEM.json
+
+
+Encrypted Data Bags
+-------------------
+
+Added in Chef 0.10, encrypted data bags allow you to encrypt the contents of your data bags. The content of attributes will no longer be searchable. To use encrypted data bags, first you must have or create a secret key.
+
+    openssl rand -base64 512 > secret_key
+
+You may use this secret_key to add items to a data bag during a create.
+
+    knife data bag create --secret-file secret_key passwords mysql
+
+You may also use it when adding ITEMs from files,
+
+    knife data bag create passwords
+    knife data bag from file passwords data_bags/passwords/mysql.json --secret-file secret_key
+
+The JSON for the ITEM must contain a key named "id" with a value equal to "ITEM" and the contents will be encrypted when uploaded. For example,
+
+    {
+      "id": "mysql",
+      "password": "abc123"
+    }
+
+Without the secret_key, the contents are encrypted.
+
+    knife data bag show passwords mysql
+    id:        mysql
+    password:  2I0XUUve1TXEojEyeGsjhw==
+
+Use the secret_key to view the contents.
+
+    knife data bag show passwords mysql --secret-file secret_key
+    id:        mysql
+    password:  abc123
