My dev machine configuration via ansible.

Set-up development machine with Ansible

Intro

I am tired of setting up my dev laptop every time something happens or changing the job. I used Ansible to configure my routine tasks of setting up the environment:

• Mac OS preferences.
• Touch ID for sudo authentication.
• zsh, alacritty and spaceship.
• Install essential tools and packages, communication, development, and media apps.
• Python via pyenv.
• Configuration files as symlinks.
