Docs Request about gitstack-pillar HOT 2 CLOSED

I think you'll find most of these questions answered in the readme, particularly the Internals section. I will address them briefly here.

1. All GitStack does is handle the pluming to fetch the Git repository, then pass the request to PillarStack. GitStack depends 100% on PillarStack and does not reproduce any of its functionality.
2. GitStack supports whatever PillarStack supports.
3. It's really as simple as putting your PillarStack code in a Git repository and slightly modifying your config files (for both Salt and PillarStack). This is all explained in the readme.
4. This is written to be a plugin. As such, it is limited to the capabilities of a plugin. If I was going to put this in the SaltStack code, I would handle some things differently, such as the dependency on the Git Pillar. That said, SaltStack are welcome to use this code as they wish.
5. See previous answers.
6. Not really. This plugin doesn't actually do anything but glue together Salt's internal Git polling and the PillarStack Pillar. Any new features should be added to PillarStack.

Thank you for your interest.

Thanks the explanation! I'm now happily using GitStack with Pillarstack.
