+##Overview
+
+The vcsrepo module lets you use Puppet to easily deploy content from your version control system (VCS).
+
+##Module Description
+
+The vcsrepo module provides a single type with providers to support the following version control systems:
+
+* [Git](#git)
+* [Bazaar](#bazaar)
+* [CVS](#cvs)
+* [Mercurial](#mercurial)
+* [Perforce](#perforce)
+* [Subversion](#subversion)
+
+**Note:** `git` is the only vcs provider officially [supported by Puppet Labs](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/supported).
+
+##Setup
+
+###Setup Requirements
+
+The `vcsrepo` module does not install any VCS software for you. You must install a VCS before you can use this module.
+
+Like Puppet in general, the `vcsrepo` module does not automatically create parent directories for the files it manages. Make sure to set up any needed directory structures before you get started.
+
+###Beginning with vcsrepo
+
+To create and manage a blank repository, define the type `vcsrepo` with a path to your repository and supply the `provider` parameter based on the [VCS you're using](#usage).
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+}
+~~~
+
+##Usage
+
+**Note:** `git` is the only vcsrepo provider officially [supported by Puppet Labs](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/supported).
+
+###Git
+
+####Create a blank repository
+
+To create a blank repository, suitable for use as a central repository, define `vcsrepo` without `source` or `revision`:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+}
+~~~
+
+If you're managing a central or official repository, you might want to make it a bare repository. To do this, set `ensure` to 'bare':
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => bare,
+ provider => git,
+}
+~~~
+
+####Clone/pull a repository
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+}
+~~~
+
+By default, `vcsrepo` will use the HEAD of the source repository's master branch. To use another branch or a specific commit, set `revision` to either a branch name or a commit SHA or tag.
+
+Branch name:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+ revision => 'development',
+}
+~~~
+
+SHA:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+ revision => '0c466b8a5a45f6cd7de82c08df2fb4ce1e920a31',
+}
+~~~
+
+Tag:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+ revision => '1.1.2rc1',
+}
+~~~
+
+To check out a branch as a specific user, supply the `user` parameter:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+ revision => '0c466b8a5a45f6cd7de82c08df2fb4ce1e920a31',
+ user => 'someUser',
+}
+~~~
+
+To keep the repository at the latest revision, set `ensure` to 'latest'.
+
+**WARNING:** this overwrites any local changes to the repository:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => latest,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+ revision => 'master',
+}
+~~~
+
+To clone the repository but skip initializing submodules, set `submodules` to 'false':
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => latest,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://example.com/repo.git',
+ submodules => false,
+}
+~~~
+
+####Use multiple remotes with a repository
+In place of a single string, you can set `source` to a hash of one or more name => URL pairs:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ remote => 'origin'
+ source => {
+ 'origin' => 'https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-vcsrepo.git',
+ 'other_remote' => 'https://github.com/other_user/puppetlabs-vcsrepo.git'
+ },
+}
+~~~
+
+**Note:** if you set `source` to a hash, one of the names you specify must match the value of the `remote` parameter. That remote serves as the upstream of your managed repository. +
+####Connect via SSH
+
+To connect to your source repository via SSH (e.g., 'username@server:…'), we recommend managing your SSH keys with Puppet and using the [`require`](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html#require) metaparameter to make sure they are present before the `vcsrepo` resource is applied.
+
+To use SSH keys associated with a user, specify the username in the `user` parameter:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => latest,
+ provider => git,
+ source => 'git://username@example.com/repo.git',
+ user => 'toto', #uses toto's $HOME/.ssh setup
+ require => File['/home/toto/.ssh/id_rsa'],
+}
+~~~ +
+###Bazaar
+
+####Create a blank repository
+
+To create a blank repository, suitable for use as a central repository, define `vcsrepo` without `source` or `revision`:
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':

+}
+~~~
+
+####Branch from an existing repository
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => bzr,
+ source => '/some/path',
+}
+~~~
+
+To branch from a specific revision, set `revision` to a valid [Bazaar revisionspec](http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/BzrRevisionSpec):
+
+~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => bzr,
+ source => '/some/path',
+ revision => 'menesis@pov.lt-20100309191856-4wmfqzc803fj300x',
+}
+~~~
+
+####Connect via SSH
+
+To connect to your source repository via SSH (e.g., `'bzr+ssh://...'` or `'sftp://...,'`), we recommend using the [`require`](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html#require) metaparameter to make sure your SSH keys are present before the `vcsrepo` resource is applied:
+ +~~~
+vcsrepo { '/path/to/repo':
+ ensure => latest,
+ provider => bzr,
+ source => 'bzr+ssh://bzr.example.com/some/path',
+ user => 'toto', #uses toto's $HOME/.ssh setup
+ require => File['/home/toto/.ssh/id_rsa'],
+}

+ ensure => present,
+ provider => p4,
+ p4config => '/root/.p4config'
+}
+~~~
+ +**Note:** If you don't include the `P4CLIENT` setting in your config file, the provider generates a workspace name based on the digest of `path` and the node's hostname (e.g., `puppet-91bc00640c4e5a17787286acbe2c021c`): + +####Create/update and sync a Perforce workspace
+
+To sync a depot path to head, set `ensure` to 'latest':
