Ansible Playbook(s) for Dev Setup

Opinionated playbooks to set up devstack. Super simple playbooks that do very little, but it adds up. Requires xcode-select --install.

Current playbooks:

1. dotfiles
   1. lays down configured dotfiles from github repo (e.g. .vimrc, .tmux.conf)
2. vim_plug
   1. sets up vim-plug for vim plugins
   2. updates and installs plugins--currently this installs fzf, which is ok but seems side-effecty and would ideally be split out
3. tmux
   1. fetches tmux plugin manager
4. brew_packages
   1. installs configured brew packages
5. frontend
   1. installs node and n
6. local_bin
   1. lays down configured executables from github repo to /usr/local/bin

Use

1. clone it
2. install ansible (or on mac use brew)
3. configure: playbooks/group_vars/all.yml with your configuration
4. run it: ansible-playbook playbooks/run.yml (or to run on another host, run ansible-playbook dotfiles.yml -i 'localhost,' -c local)

What problems does this solve?

1. This simplifies setting up new computers with dotfiles and other configuration
2. In the admittedly-rare situation where I am devving on multiple machines, this conveniently keeps dev configuration on all machines in sync

Is it worth maintaining an ansible playbook instead of doing everything manually? Probably not.
