Ansible Role: Dotfiles

Installs a set of dotfiles from a given Git repostiory. By default it will use my dotfiles repo but you can easily change it to use yours. Works for all dotfile repos that follow the stow format (blog post).

Usage

1. Change the dotfiles_repo variable in defaults/main.yml to point to your dotfiles repo
2. Create a playbook with this Role
3. Run the playbook

Dependencies

None

Example playbook

---
- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - { role: mariuskimmina.dotfiles }
  become: true

Tests

Fully tested on:

• Fedora 36
• Ubuntu 20.04

The main difference between the original project and this one is the usage of stow.
