I'm looking at setting up r10k for Puppet deployment, and I have various example r10k.yaml configuration files, but some seem to use an extra : at the start of many lines, for instance, at http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/r10k/1.1.4:

---
:cachedir: '/var/cache/r10k'

However, at https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k/blob/master/r10k.yaml.example:

---
cachedir: '/var/cache/r10k'

What's the difference, and why would I use one of the other?

It is how foreman do there variable

:cachedir: '/var/cache/r10k'

will be read as 

{
  ":cachedir": "/var/cache/r10k"
}

You can test your syntax here : http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/
