### Puppet support
You can supply a puppet manifest instead of creating the (YAML) graph manually.
Puppet must be installed and in `mgmt`'s search path. You also need the
[ffrank-mgmtgraph puppet module](https://forge.puppet.com/ffrank/mgmtgraph).
Invoke `mgmt` with the `--puppet` switch, which supports 3 variants:
1. Request the configuration from the puppet server (like `puppet agent` does)
`mgmt run puppet --puppet agent`
2. Compile a local manifest file (like `puppet apply`)
`mgmt run puppet --puppet /path/to/my/manifest.pp`
3. Compile an ad hoc manifest from the commandline (like `puppet apply -e`)
`mgmt run puppet --puppet 'file { "/etc/ntp.conf": ensure => file }'`
For more details and caveats see [puppet-guide.md](puppet-guide.md).
