# App Store credentials:
appstore::appleid: [email protected]

Required Puppet Modules

• boxen
• module_data

Development

Set GITHUB_API_TOKEN in your shell with a Github oAuth Token to raise your API rate limit. You can get some work done without it, but you're less likely to encounter errors like Unable to find module 'boxen/puppet-boxen' on https://github.com.

Then write some code. Run script/cibuild to test it. Check the script directory for other useful tools.
