Ansible Role for ZSH

This role:

• installs zsh
• installs oh-my-zsh at ~{{ansible_ssh_user}}/.oh-my-zsh
• backs up existing ~/.zshrc
• backs up existing ~/.zsh_aliases
• copies my .zshrc to ~{{ansible_ssh_user}}/.zshrc
• copies my .zsh_aliases to ~{{ansible_ssh_user}}/.zsh_aliases
• copies my pygmalion.zsh-theme to ~{{ansible_ssh_user}}/.oh-my-zsh/themes/pygmalion.zsh-theme
• changes the shell of {{ansible_ssh_user}} to zsh

This role works for both OSX and Debian based OS.

Requirements

Note that this role requires sudo to Install zsh and change shell to zsh. Please make sure that the user that your control machine ssh into has sudo access. I recommend using ansible_ssh_user in your inventory file, e.g.

[test]
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ansible_ssh_user=exampleuser 

You can use --ask-sudo-pass when running your playbook

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i inventory.ini --ask-sudo-pass

If you are provisioning OSX, you need to have homebrew.
