I love the 'inventory directory' feature, and typically have directories
called, e.g:
* inventory/staging/
* inventory/live/
* inventory/docker/
* inventory/local/
but I would sometimes like to document in each one how to use them, and
what they do.
At present, if you specify a directory as the inventory, it will load any
regular files within it as inventory files and execute any scripts as
inventory scripts.
It ignores any files that match
"~", ".orig", ".bak", ".ini", ".retry", ".pyc", ".pyo"
Can I propose that a few extras be added to that list, perhaps:
"*.txt", "*.doc", "*.md"
so you can put a README.txt in the directory without it being interpreted
as an inventory?
Other alternatives:
* You could require things that were actually inventory files to have a
particular naming structure
* You could have a .exclude file which listed files to be ignored
At present, my workaround is to put a README.txt in each one but to begin
every line with a '#'. It is then read as an inventory file but ignored!
