I am working on deploying version control for our puppet modules and manifests.
I want to enforce a workflow that requires a puppet module and manifest code check prior to a check-in of changes. This would be useful since it would prevent the pushing of code changes with, for e.g., syntax errors or something more fatal.
My initial thoughts were to deploy a whole separate puppetmaster instance where manifests and module changes can be done and have it be a node of itself. A syntax check could then be done with a service puppetmaster restart && service puppet restart and checking the logs for errors. I could code that workflow in a manifest and module push script. However, I'm thinking there's a more elegant way.
