+knife-cookbook-site(1) -- Install and update open source cookbooks
+========================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+__knife__ __cookbook site__ _sub-command_ _(options)_
+
+## COOKBOOK SITE SUB-COMMANDS
+`knife cookbook site` provides the following subcommands:
+
+## INSTALL
+__cookbook site install COOKBOOK [VERSION]__ _(options)_
+
+  * `-D`, `--skip-dependencies `:
+    Skip automatic installation of dependencies.
+  * `-o`, `--cookbook-path PATH`:
+    Install cookbooks to PATH
+  * `-B`, `--branch BRANCH`:
+    Default branch to work with [defaults to master]
+
+Uses git(1) version control in conjunction with the cookbook site to
+install community contributed cookbooks to your local cookbook
+repository. Running `knife cookbook site install` does the following:
+
+1. A new "pristine copy" branch is created in git for tracking the
+   upstream;
+2. All existing cookbooks are removed from the branch;
+3. The cookbook is downloaded from the cookbook site in tarball form;
+4. The downloaded cookbook is untarred, and its contents commited via git;
+5. The pristine copy branch is merged into the master branch.
+
+By installing cookbook with this process, you can locally modify the
+upstream cookbook in your master branch and let git maintain your
+changes as a separate patch.  When an updated upstream version becomes
+available, you will be able to merge the upstream changes while
+maintaining your local modifications.
+
+Unless _--skip-dependencies_ is specified, the process is applied recursively to all the
+cookbooks _COOKBOOK_ depends on (via metadata _dependencies_).
+
+## DOWNLOAD
+__knife cookbook site download COOKBOOK [VERSION]__ _(options)_
+
+  * `-f`, `--file FILE`:
+    The filename to write to
+  * `--force`:
+    Force download deprecated cookbook
+
+Downloads a specific cookbook from the Community site, optionally
+specifying a certain version.

+
+Lists available cookbooks from the Community site.

+explicitly set these values on the command line or use an alternate
+configuration file.

+## DESCRIPTION
+The cookbook site, <http://community.opscode.com/>, is a cookbook
+distribution service operated by Opscode. This service provides users
+with a central location to publish cookbooks for sharing with other
+community members.
+
+`knife cookbook site` commands provide an interface to the cookbook
+site's HTTP API. For commands that read data from the API, no account is
+required. In order to upload cookbooks using the `knife cookbook site
+share` command, you must create an account on the cookbook site and
+configure your credentials via command line option or in your knife
+configuration file.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+Uploading cookbooks to the Opscode cookbooks site:
+
+    knife cookbook site share example Other -k ~/.chef/USERNAME.pem -u USERNAME
