Finally, the most hacky way (read: prone to unexpected consequences ): do a commit hook that copies / merges the /etc/ansible to <reporoot>/etc/ansible/ David On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 4:56 PM, Myles Braithwaite <[email protected]> wrote: > William Muriithi wrote: > > Afternoon > > > > I have a git repo called configurations.
