<p>The <strong>knife upload</strong> subcommand is used to upload roles, cookbooks, environments, and data bags to the Chef server from the current working directory in the chef-repo. This subcommand is often used in conjunction with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">knife</span> <span class="pre">diff</span></tt>, which can be used to see exactly what changes will be uploaded, and then <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">knife</span> <span class="pre">download</span></tt>, which does the opposite of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">knife</span> <span class="pre">upload</span></tt>.</p>
<div class="section" id="syntax">

<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--chef-repo-path</span> <span class="pre">PATH</span></tt></dt>
<dd>The path to the chef-repo. This setting will override the default path to the chef-repo. Default: same value as specified by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">chef_repo_path</span></tt> in client.rb.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--concurrency</span></tt></dt>

<dd>Use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--force</span></tt> to upload roles, cookbooks, etc. even if the file in the directory is identical (by default, no <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">POST</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PUT</span></tt> is performed unless an actual change would be made). Default: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--no-force</span></tt>.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--[no-]freeze</span></tt></dt>
