I'm trying to use a feature branch to test some functionality in a current cookbook I am working on. Normally I would point to the master branch like so:

cookbook 'elasticsearch', github: 'account-name/cookbook-elasticsearch'

Is there any way to point to a feature branch? Has anyone had any success doing that before?

Thank-you,

Alright y'all. I just figured this out, but I thought I should share since it wasn't completely obvious from the docs.

So you just need to grab the commit id from the commit that you want to use in berks.

For example in my case I did

cookbook "elasticsearch", github:"account-name/elasticsearch", tag:"a27dr77g4f97420cd1a69282ce6177a2b95befda"

and vola!

    why not using the branch name as mentionned in the doc (just above groups at bootom of the page)? This kind of reference is more for a specific commit than a branch. For your case `cookbook 'elasticsearch', github: 'D1plo1d/cookbook-elasticsearch', branch: "fixes"` should do (branch is an alias to tag, more meaningfull in this case) – Tensibai Feb 25 '15 at 17:37
