Knife Aliases

Easier use of common Knife Tasks

One of the guys I am working with had some aliases on his local for working with Chef and Knife. I grabbed a copy of them and put them into a repo. Made it a bit easier for everyone working with the server stacks.

Becoming a Prep Chef

What the hell is the run list?

I've been doing some chef work as of late and I was sucked into a machine that wasn't behaving as expected. As hard and as frequently as I changed my search, I was unable to find the command I wanted. 

It turns out the command is very simple but wasn't close to what I was searching for: 

knife node show <node name>  

As simple as you can get, but as it turns out, doesn't show up on searches for "knife show runlist" or "knife show recipes for node".
