Maintaining local environment with Ansible

Will be as an alternative for the maintenance bash scripts found in the shell-scripts repo: https://github.com/mdrocan/shell-scripts

Script execution

• Execute with: ansible-playbook update_brew.yml

Possible issues

• In some cases you may see the following error in the output: fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Warning: These files were overwritten during thebrew linkstep:\nError: Thebrew linkstep did not complete successfully"}

• This means that you should check with brew doctor which kegs are not properly linked and link them.

Requirements

• Homebrew must already be installed on the target system

Next steps

• Create same functionality for local testing and with Github Actions

Quality aspect

• Linter verified software
