Introduction


In this chapter, we'll see how to make small edits to files, how to make larger changes in a structured way using the Augeas tool, how to construct files from concatenated snippets, and how to generate files from templates. We'll also learn how to install packages from additional repositories, and how to manage those repositories. In addition, we'll see how to store and decrypt secret data with Puppet.
