Dotfiles and ansible playbook for my windows, mac and linux workstations (and my VPS??).

How to use

With Ansible

• Make sure you have ansible installed.
• Just run ansible-playbook dev.yml --ask-become-pass and give it your password.
• Thats it for linux distros and macos. For windows, install windows native gui software manually for now.

With Go

• Just run go run github.com/vedantwankhade/dotfiles@latest

Extending

• To install additional packages, just mention them in <os>/packages.yml under appropriate var.
• To add more dotfiles, just place them in the root directory of this repo, and declare its destination in <os>/dots.yml.

To Do

• OS choice (like WSL, Arch etc)
• Profile choices (like Hyprland, DWM, KDE, Dev etc)
• Hyprland
  • Switch to specific window (or open the program if not running) on keybind

[!IMPORTANT]
Use ansible-core v2.18.* v2.19.* has issues with reading sudo password from tty stdin as of 27/07/2025.

[!IMPORTANT] Turns out there are some breaking changes with ansible-core v2.19.0.

All needs to access stdio from a fork for controller side plugins requires use of Display - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.19.0/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.19.rst#major-changes
