Contributing

If you want to contribute, I use Vagrant for testing my changes locally. To set it up correctly, create a symbolic link so Ansible can find the role in the right place. For example, you can run:

ln -s ~/IdeaProjects/ansible-role-jackett ~/IdeaProjects/ansible-role-jackett/roles/chrisjohnson00.jackett
