This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Windows machine and my WSL development environtment on that machine. It uses Ansible from within a WSL environment to both update the WSL environment itself as well as it's Windows host.
Some things in Windows are slightly difficult to automate, so I still have some manual installation steps, but at least it's going to be all documented here.
This is a work in progress, and is mostly a means for me to document my current Windows's /WSL setup. I'll be evolving this set of playbooks over time.
