Ansible 1.3 Conditional Execution -- Very complete example with comments -- I find the conditional expressions to be ridiculously hard to get right in Ansible. I don't have a good model of what's going on under the surface so I often get it wrong. What makes it even harder is that there has been at least three different variants over the course …
---
# This has been tested with ansible 1.3 with these commands:
# ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible_conditionals_examples.yaml --extra-vars="hosts=myhosts isFirstRun=false"
# ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible_conditionals_examples.yaml --extra-vars="hosts=myhosts isFirstRun=true"
# ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible_conditionals_examples.yaml --extra-vars="hosts=myhosts"
# NB: The type of the variable is crucial!

Check git status of multiple repos

If you're like me you have a dir like ~/Workspace/Github where all your git repos live. I often find myself making a change in a repo, getting side tracked and ending up in another repo, or off doing something else all together. After a while I end up with several repos with modifications. This script helps me pick up where I left off by checking the status of all my repos, instead of having to check each one individually.

Usage:

git-status [directory]

This will run git status on each repo under the directory specified. If called with no directory provided it will default to the current directory.

Variables
==========
predefined variables :
- inventory_hostname (fqdn) (normally the same as ansible.fqdn)
- inventory_hostname_short
To know the return codes returned by ansible modules, just use plain ansible -vvv to see them :
ansible -i ~/ansible/arrfab.net/hosts/hosts.cfg -vvv -m copy -a 'src=files/sysinfo dest=/etc/sysinfo' tungstene.arrfab.net
tungstene.arrfab.net | success >> {

Insanely complete Ansible playbook, showing off all the options
This playbook has been removed as it is now very outdated.
