This is the repo containing the ansible roles to set up my dev environment. Check the roles for details on what that means.
sudo apt-get install ansible
Running with the default values will modify files in your home directory.
ansible-playbook -K main-play.yml
When developing , in main-play.yml change to HOME_USER_DIR: "{{ playbook_dir }}/fake_home_user".
This won't pollute your default home directory.
Running tree -a fake_home_user will give you a good impression on what happened after the playbook executed.
