Background I'm running chef-client --local-mode with cookbook path set to ./berks-cookbooks these cookbooks where already downloaded by berkshelf before running chef. (chef sdk 4.0.0, berkshelf 3.2.3) Before running my scripts, chef has to run "Synchronizing Cookbooks" and this step takes 2 to 3 minutes. I understand that chef is downloading dependant cookbooks in this time and checking their hash
