• Add to run_list recipe['etckeeper'] for local using etckeeper
• Set either ['git_host']`, ['git_repo'] or ['git_port'] for daily auto push to remote:
• Make ssh key and copy to ./files/default/etckeeper_key or create a wrapper cookbook with the ssh key you want to deploy then set following attribute: node['etckeeper']['ssh']['key']['cookbook']
• Set your git_host and git_port if your need
• Set at atribute for git repo. For example github repo default['etckeeper']['git_repo'] = "myuser/myrepo.git"

This recipe will do two things

• In the beginning of the chef-run, check if /etc is unclean. If yes, fail the chef-run.
• After the chef-run, a report handler will commit the changes made to /etc during this chef-run.

Updates from Jeremy MAURO:

• #14 make tests compliant with the latest version of Chefspec and chef
• #15 remove the 'old' fix of the cronjob
• #16 add the cookbook attribute on the resource that deploys the ssh key, so now, the user is able to override this value with a wrapper cookbook

• switched to berkshelf v3
• added chefspec tests
• added rubocop checks
• added foodcritic checks
