Tired of searching for dependencies on the forge and hoping you got everything? Have an existing Puppetfile that's getting long in the tooth? Use generate-puppetfile to generate a list of modules and their dependencies, at the latest version, in Puppetfile format for use with r10k or librarian-puppet.
gem install generate-puppetfile
Run generate-puppetfile with a list of modules and/or an existing Puppetfile. Each module name will be validated to be of the proper format (author/name). Any existing Puppetfile will be scanned for forge modules. Non-forge module entries will be preserved. All forge modules will be tracked at the latest version, along with their dependencies. The resulting Puppetfile will contain all the forge modules along with any preserved non-forge module statements.
$ generate-puppetfile echocat/nfs rnelson0/certs
Installing modules. This may take a few minutes.

Documentation of important pre-1.0.0 changes
- 0.10.0:
--fixtureshas been replaced with--create-fixtures.-fis still an alias for this argument.
- Parsing of an existing Puppetfile is naive. Anything that doesn't look like a forge module is preserved and then added to the end of the new Puppetfile. Verify that no ordering errors are introduced before using the new file.
