Overview

The goal of this tool is provide a flexible, yet powerful tool to manage Salt formulas. It aims to support many different configurations in an intuitive manner, such as, but not limited to:

Downloading formulas from multiple sources
Keeping formula management to one single configuration file
Avoiding needing to modify the Salt master config file to add new formula sources

Indeed, SaltStack are working on a tool, Salt Package Manager, that aims to do similar things. However, that tool feels a little "hacky", in my opinion, and doesn't use some of the tools that are already available to us, such as git/GitHub, and it requires the use of hosting packages out of a separate repository. Granted, that approach does have its positives, but I felt that I needed something a little lighter than that solution. To each their own :)

To Do

What still needs done...

Tracking a specific commit
Tracking a tag
Better configuration management (e.g. maybe using a class to handle configuration, where to put the configuration files, etc)
Maybe not running a git pull on every repo, every time the script is run?
Managing multiple Salt environments
