MacOS Ansible Playbook

This is my personal playbook for setting up a fresh install of MacOS.

How to use

First of all, you'll need to install XCode and Homebrew manually.

xcode-select --install
bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH"

Then, you need to install ansible via brew.

brew update

brew install ansible

Now, you can run the entire playbook or a certain tag via -t <tagName>

ansible-playbook playbook.yml
