      single_pull  => false,
      rebase       => true,
      frequency    => 30;
  }

Fields

• gituser: Your github username
• giturl: If you for some reason aren't using the normal github base URL
• project: Name of your dotfiles project
• dotfiles_dir: Subdirectory under your dotfiles project containing the dotfiles.
  (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, .nethackrc, etc, etc)
• branch: If you want to pull a specific branch of your dotfiles project
• homedir: Your home directory on the puppet-managed host
• clobber: insert dotfiles, moving any existing conflicts out of the way
• bak_ext: extension to append to filenames of existing files to get them out of the way. Only matters if you have $clobber = true.
• single_pull: Option to pull down the dotfiles one time only (no recurring pulls)
• rebase: If you prefer git pull --rebase to git pull (since your dotfiles are likely being modded by just you, you may want this)
• frequency: Minimum time between pulls (in minutes)
