Adding reuseable variables

If you want to shorten the execution of the above and get your git and vim settings initialized, you can create a yaml file with those variables and call it directly

# Set in vars.yaml
git_email: andrew.a.kail@gmail.com
git_name: "Andrew Kail"
enable_vim: true

Then reference the file when executing ansible-pull.

ansible-pull -U https://github.com/dstdev/workstation-bootstrap -K -e "@vars.yaml"

This file can be kept separate from the repo and reused on other VMS.

Configuration Variables

The following configurations can be set using vars.yaml above. By default these variables are set to false and the playbook will still run without them. However it will be recommended to configure these for more effective usage.
