Install a set of dotfiles from a given Git repository and run a installation or bootstrap script (like GitHub codespaces). By default, it will install my dotfiles, but you can use any set of dotfiles you'd like, as long as they follow a conventional format.
Requires git on the managed machine (you can easily install it with geerlingguy.git if required).
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
dotfiles_recursive: true
Clone recursively with submodules.
dotfiles_repo: "https://gitlab.com/iloveitaly/dotfiles.git"
dotfiles_repo_version: master
The git repository and branch/tag/commit hash to use for retrieving dotfiles. Dotfiles should generally be laid out within the root directory of the repository.
dotfiles_repo_accept_hostkey: false
Add the hostkey for the repo url if not already 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_force_clone: false
When true, it will force clone the repository, overwriting any local changes.
dotfiles_home: "~"
Whether the files in the repository start with dot or not.
