Mac Development Ansible Playbook

A playbook that installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development.

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local drive.
2. Run bash init.sh inside this directory to install required libs and applications. Enter your account password when prompted.

Note: If some Homebrew commands fail, you might need to agree to Xcode's license or fix some other Brew issue. Run brew doctor to see if this is the case.

Running a specific set of tagged tasks

You can filter which part of the provisioning process to run by specifying a set of tags using ansible-playbook's --tags flag.

bash run.sh --tags "dotfiles,homebrew"

To see all the available tags, run:

bash init.sh --list-tags

Overriding Defaults

Not everyone's development environment and preferred software configuration is the same.

You can override any of the defaults configured in default.config.yml by creating a config.yml file and setting the overrides in that file. For example, you can customize the installed packages and apps with something like:

homebrew_installed_packages:
  - cowsay
  - git
  - go

Any variable can be overridden in config.yml; see the supporting roles' documentation for a complete list of available variables.
