This cookbook creates a deploy user, generate it a keypair, then uses the Github API to add the public key to the user's list of authenticated keys on Github.

The end goal is to configure a local user account that has access to all required Github repos for deploying code.

Todo:

• Replace setting the Github API credentials with checking an encrypted databag. ++security.

• Debian family (Tested on Debian 6.0 and Ubuntu 12.10)
• Github Account
• Github API keys

default[:github_deploys][:deploy_user] = "deploy"
default[:github_deploys][:github_api][:endpoint_path] = "/user/keys"
default[:github_deploys][:github_api][:username] = "SET_YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME"
default[:github_deploys][:github_api][:email] = "SET_YOUR_GITHUB_USER_EMAIL"
default[:github_deploys][:github_api][:password] = "GITHUB_PASSWORD"

Ensure your github credentials are set in the above attributes, then add the default recipe to your runlist.
