To git in recipe

Hi,

I m a newbie to Chef/opscode, We have a django website which uses a customized
Django version and its available on github, So normally we clone it or pull it
using git. I would like to create a recipe for this. So that when I run_list
for the cookbook to install the django version from github. Please do let me
know if its possible.

You could use the git resource[0] to install the custom the custom Django
from Github. We also just released an updated Python cookbook[1] that comes
with an LWRP for managing pip packages if this custom Django build is
available that way.
