Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  vars:
    git_username: root
    git_groupname: root
    git_repository_destination: /root
    git_repositories:
      - repo: "https://github.com/robertdebock/robertdebock.bootstrap"
        dest: bootstrap
      - repo: "https://github.com/robertdebock/robertdebock.bootstrap"
        dest: bootstrap-force
        force: true
      - repo: "https://github.com/robertdebock/robertdebock.bootstrap"
        dest: bootstrap-version
        version: "2.11.1"

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.git

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  become: true
  serial: 30%

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.
