ansible-role-dotfiles

Installs a set of dotfiles from a Git repository. By default it installs the bmacauley/dotfiles. You can use other dotfiles by changing the configuration.

Requirements

• Git

Role variables

Default variables are in defaults/main.yml

dotfiles_repo: "https://github.com/bmacauley/dotfiles.git"

The git repository containing the dotfiles. Dotfiles should be laid out within the root directory of the repository

dotfiles_repo_accept_hostkey: no

Add a hostkey for the repo url if not added. If ssh_opts contains "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no", this parameter is ignored.

dotfiles_repo_local_destination: "~/.dotfiles"

The local path where the dotfiles_repo will be cloned

dotfiles_home: "~"

The home directory where dotfiles will be linked. Generally, the default should work, but in some circumstances, or when running the role as sudo on behalf of another user, you may want to specify the full path.

dotfiles_files:
  - .bash_profile
  - .gitignore
  - .inputrc
  - .vimrc

The files from the dotfiles_repo that will be linked to the dotfiles_home
