# Ansible Role Oh My ZSH

This is a basic Ansible role to enable and configure Oh My Zsh on Fedora,
Ubuntu, or MacOS. It should also work on many other \*nix variants. It
performs the following tasks:

- Install and minimally configure Zsh:
  - make sure it exists,
  - set it as the default shell for the user specified by the role.
- Install Oh My Zsh for each specified user (in `~/.oh-my-zsh` by default).
- Configure (Oh My) Zsh by optionally creating a `.zshrc` file for each
  specified user.
- Alternately, configure Zsh by adding a block of lines to individual
  users' `.zshrc` files.

## Role task files

### `main.yml`: task coordination

This file includes files that peform specific subsets of tasks.

### `zsh.yml`: Zsh setup

This task installs and sets zsh as the default shell for a user.

#### Variables used

- `omz_user`

### `oh-my-zsh-install.yml`: Oh My Zsh installation

This task clones the Oh My Zsh repository into the user directory of each
specified user and sets the appropriate permissions on the directory.

#### Variables used

- `omz_user`
- `omz_install_directory`
- `omz_git_repository`
- `omz_install_path`

### `oh-my-zsh-zshrc.yml`: Oh My Zsh configuration

This task creates the user a `.zshrc` file containing global values for various
Oh My Zsh options based on [the `.zshrc` template in the oh-my-zsh repository](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/templates/zshrc.zsh-template).
The task can be configured to back up any existing `.zshrc` file.

This task only runs when `omz_zshrc_create` is set to `true`.

This task adds individual lines to the `.zshrc` file. This is useful for adding
Zsh settings on an already-existing `.zshrc` file without creating it
from scratch.

This task only runs when `omz_zshrc_create` is set to `false`.

#### Variables used

- `omz_user`
- `omz_zshrc_backup`
