Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true
  vars:
    nvim_user: shadowwalker
    neovim: true
    neovim_nightly: false
    treesitter: true
  tasks:
    - name: Adding user
      ansible.builtin.user:
        name: "{{ nvim_user }}"
        create_home: true
        shell: /bin/bash

    - name: Run nvim role
      ansible.builtin.include_role:
        name: buluma.nvim

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap
    - role: buluma.ca_certificates

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.
