I think your missing my point. Don't use /etc/ansible.
Clone the repo somewhere in your home directory that you store your projects and run everything from there.

@stacksofplates eh. . .
Can I just use mv at this point?

I mean you can but that's the reason this is all in a repo, so you can just check it out anywhere.

Plus your tree doesn't have the inventory directory which the ansible.cfg file is looking for.

Hopefully that's better?

Yeah. I mean I'm not trying to make you do it certain way, but if you want to use that skeleton, it's looking for things in a certain directory unless you modify it.

So I'd put your playbook in
/etc/ansi/playbook-skeletonand then you can runmake rolesto install the role (after you add it to the requirements.yml of course). -

/home/ansi/playbook-skeletonWith that, I need to make a playbook to do brew stuff, right?
Any pointers on where to go?

What was in your apple.yml playbook?

@stacksofplates Nothing now, I blew it all away.

Ok. So here https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks.html has pretty much everything you could want, but for a short start here's what I would do:
--- - name: Set up Macs hosts: apple_workstations user: dustin become: true tasks: - include_role: name: role-nameThat should be a good simple start. You can pass any variables to the role by doing this:
tasks: - include_role: name: role-name vars: key: value -
