Roles with a reference to a git repository will be cloned, checked out and added to the workspace.

The .gitignore will be configured to ignore the role repositories or symlinks.

Install

pip install -U ansible-workspace

or with pipx

pipx install ansible-workspace

Workspaces

ansible-workspace --help

General

Symlinks

If you want your roles in e.g. ~/ansible-roles but want to symlink them to ./roles use the following command:

ansible-workspace <tool> --roles-path ~/ansible-roles --symlink-path roles/

VSCode

The workspace consists of:

• A folder for the playbook directory
• A folder for each role defined in the requirements

ansible-workspace vscode

code ~/workspaces/example-project.code-workspace

tmuxp

The workspace consists of:

• A window for the playbook directory
• A window to exectute ansible commands
• A window for each role defined in the requirements

```bash
ansible-workspace tmuxp

tmuxp load -y ~/workspaces/example-project.tmuxp-workspace.yml
