devconfig

==========

The devconfig role allows you to set up your shell environment on target systems with your usual user preferences. For instance, if you have a ~/.gitconfig file, it will copy that file to every target system you use with Ansible. Similarly, if you have favorite bash commands or shortcuts, you can place them in the ~/.enhance-bash file, and devconfig will make sure each target system includes this file in their .bashrc for both regular users and the root user.

All these actions are optional. Files will only be copied or changed if they exist.

Requirements

None.
