Simple ansible playbook to install all software that you need to new macOS environment

Based on Jeff Geerling's work

NOTE: Managing Dock items in macOS Mojave is VERY strange (it's practically do not work)!

HOWTO

• Customize your settings in env_vars.yml (brew apps, cask apps, mas apps, dock items)
• Run ./create_env.sh. It will install brew, zsh, ansible and run ansible create_env.yml
• To setup particular feature, you can run ./create_env.sh brew/cask/mas/dock
  • apps - install all apps,
  • brew - install homebrew apps,
  • cask - homebrew cask apps,
  • mas - App Store apps,
  • dock - remove and change order
• You also can combine them with comma, e.g. create_env.sh brew,mas
• You can provide path to different vars file with second parameter, e.g. create_env.sh all vars/env_vars_media.yml
• To select where to install ansible you can use third parameter, brew(default) or pyenv, e.g. create_env.sh all vars/env_vars_work.yml pyenv
• P.S. id for App Store apps in mas_installed_apps you can get by mas search <app_name>
