# Mac Development Ansible Playbook

This set of playbooks was originally cloned from [MWGriffin/ansible-playbooks](https://github.com/MWGriffin/ansible-playbooks), and basically installs all the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. Well, all the software I can get without using the Mac App Store, which can't be scripted.

This is very much a work in progress, and is mostly a means for me to document my current Mac's setup. I'll be adding settings and packages to this set of playbooks.

**Caveat**: This set of playbooks is not meant to be a great example of Ansible best practices. I just want to wrap my Mac's configuration in Ansible so I can quickly bring up a new development Mac without having to restore from a Time Machine backup.

## Installation

  1. Clone this repository somewhere.
  2. [Install Ansible](https://devopsu.com/guides/ansible-mac-osx.html).
  3. Run `ansible-playbook main.yml --ask-sudo-pass`.

## Ansible for DevOps

If Ansible piques your interest, please check out the book I'm working on, [Ansible for DevOps](https://leanpub.com/ansible-for-devops), where I actually *do* follow Ansible best practices, and will teach you how to do some other amazing things with Ansible.
