How to run?

In order to run this playbook You must follow several steps. I assume You've already set preferred variables in restituto.yml playbook. (check Configuration section).

1. ) Install Arch or any Arch based distro on Your system as You would normally.
2. ) Clone this repository anywhere You want.
3. ) Navigate to repository folder.
4. ) Run sudo sh scripts/restituto.sh
5. ) Reboot Your system.

Some applications required additional steps in order to complete full configuration:

1. ) VMware

   • Run sudo ~/.config/vmware/vmware-setup.sh

2. ) PHP Storm, Android Studio, IntelliJ Community

   • My settings are exported and saved in ~/.config/jetbrains-zip-config/
   • You need to import them manually from application GUI.

What have I learned ?

1. Ansible (advance concepts).
2. Improved my scripting skills.
3. General details about Linux systems and their organization.
