Summary

This PR adds comprehensive documentation about Chef Workstation's component repositories and updates the architecture description to reflect its modular nature.

Changes

  • Added Component Repositories section to the main page with a detailed table listing all Chef Workstation components, their source repositories, and Habitat package names
  • Updated installation page to reference the new component repositories documentation and mention the chef-workstation repository as the packaging plan maintainer
  • Improved Chef Workstation description in reusable content to clarify that components are distributed as modular Chef Habitat packages with independent repositories

Components documented

The new table includes:

  • Chef Workstation (packaging)
  • Chef CLI
  • Chef Infra Client
  • Knife
  • Chef InSpec
  • Test Kitchen
  • Cookstyle
  • Berkshelf
  • Chef Vault
  • Ohai
  • Fauxhai

Impact

This documentation improves transparency and helps users:

  • Understand Chef Workstation's modular architecture
  • Locate source code for individual components
  • Identify the correct repositories for issues and contributions
  • Find the corresponding Habitat packages for each component
