NAME

blueprint-rules - create a blueprint from a blueprint-rules file

SYNOPSIS

blueprint rules [-P|-C|-S|...] [-m message] [-r] [-q] [pathname]

DESCRIPTION

blueprint-rules renders the blueprint-rules(5) file pathname and stores the resulting blueprint in a branch of the local blueprint repository with the commit message (if given). The branch name is the basename of pathname with its extension (conventionally .blueprint-rules) removed.

If standard input is not a TTY or pathname is -, rules are read from standard input.

The rendered blueprint will contain only the resources enumerated in pathname (or on standard input), opening the possibility of creating multiple orthogonal blueprints from the same system.

If one of --puppet, --chef, --sh, or --cfn is given, a Puppet module, a Chef cookbook, POSIX shell code, or an AWS CloudFormation template will be generated, written to a file or directory in the current working directory, and its filename will be printed to standard output.
