Installs a set of dotfiles or other local config files to a home directory.
Requires git and a repository containing the dotfiles.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
dotfiles_repo_url: https://github.com/jrgoldfinemiddleton/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: no
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_dest: ~/Developer/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
Which files from the dotfiles repository should be linked to the dotfiles_home.
