A template for Ansible role to ramp up role creation

Ansible Role Template

This is an template repo I intend to use for my Ansible roles. It's packed with some default content.

Here is how to use it:

• Clone this repo to your local machine: $ git clone [email protected]:wahidsadik/ansible-role-template.git <new-role>. Here is the name of your new role.
• Next: $ cd <new-role>
• Remove the .git directory to have a fresh start: $ rm -rf .git
• Replace the word tbd in the following files with :
  • README-rename-me.md
  • tests/test.yml
• Delete this file (README.md) and rename README-rename-me.md to README.md.
• Done!

Other thoughts

I understand that the more correct way to create a role is something like this: $ ansible-galaxy init <new-role>, and it will always get the latest template recommended by Ansible. My template may fall behind if I don't keep updated.

For now, I am going to accept this shortcoming.

TODO

Add a makefile to automate the manual steps mentioned above.
