This is not a complete HOWTO, but I outlined what we're doing. Here we have a (group) shared git repository on a server (the puppetmaster in fact). The repository belongs to the group commiter. Each commiter has an ssh account and also belongs to the commiter group. Each commiter has sudo rights to call "/usr/local/bin/puppet-update" (see below). The git repository is created with shared mode (git init --shared=group). The git repository is bare. I cloned this repository in /etc/puppet has root. Then there is a post-update hook in the repository that does: exec sudo -u root /usr/local/bin/puppet-update With puppet-update doing basically: #!/bin/sh umask 002 ( cd /etc/puppet git pull --verbose) Hence, when we commit, and git push to the central repository, /etc/puppet is automatically updated.
