Bash Role

The role installs ~/.bash_aliases and sets up basic extensible nftables aliases.

Extending Aliases

To extend aliases simply put Bash aliases files to ~/.config directory, the file naming convention is name.bash_aliases. Aliases are loaded automatically next Bash execution.

Example File

alias myip='curl ipinfo.io/ip'

Example of Use in a Role

Add a role dependency in meta file:

---
dependencies:
  - role: xebis.ansible.bash # Expects extensible Bash aliases in place

Create alias file, for example role.bash_aliases.

Add Ansible task to copy files to ~/.config, for example:

- name: Copy role Bash aliases
  ansible.builtin.copy:
    src: role.bash_aliases
    dest: ~/.config/role.bash_aliases
    mode: u=rw,g=r,o=r
