Using Ansible Command Line

Ansible can be used to manage local systems through various methods. You can run playbooks locally using the command line with ansible-playbook –connection=local 127.0.0.1 playbook.yml, configure local execution in inventory files or the Ansible configuration file, or set it directly within playbook headers. This flexibility allows for seamless local automation tailored to different needs and preferences.

Using Command Prompt Instructions Effectively

When you run a shell script, you have two primary options:

./script.sh: This command runs the script in a new shell. Any variables set or changed in the script do not affect the parent shell.
source script.sh: This command runs the script in the current shell (no new shell is created). Any variables set or changed in the script affect the parent shell.
