Include git::default, git::windows, or git::source in your cookbook OR use the git_client resource directly.
git_client: Manages a Git client installation on a machine. Source install action is available on Linux.git_config: Sets up Git configuration on a node.
This cookbook ships with ready to use, attribute driven recipes that utilize the git_client and git_service resources. As of cookbook 4.x, they utilize the same attributes layout scheme from the 3.x. Due to some overlap, it is currently impossible to simultaneously install the Git client as a package and from source by using the "manipulate the node attributes and run a recipe" technique. If you need both, you'll need to utilize the git_client resource in a recipe.
