Use this project as a submodule

You may want to keep your own playbooks set of playbooks in a different repository. Or you may need to maintain a hosts file and your own set of group_vars files in a private repo (and/or protected by ansible-vault).

To use this project and its roles with your own playbooks and hosts, try including it as a git submodule. Here's a public example of what that looks like.

Brief walkthrough of setting this up:

1. Create your repo with your playbooks / hosts file / whatever you like

2. Add this repo as a git submodule.

   $ git submodule add [email protected]:curationexperts/ansible-hydra.git
   $ cd ansible-hydra/
   $ git checkout desired-commit-hash-or-branch-or-tag
   $ cd ..
   

3. Create an ansible.cfg containing

   [defaults]
   roles_path = ./ansible-hydra/roles
   

Then if you pull your 'superproject' repo somewhere else:

$ cd [your wrapper repo]
$ git submodule update --init
