How can I automate my configuration files?

You can automate your configuration files using scripts or configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.

What are the benefits of using Ansible for this?

Ansible is agentless, easy to learn, and allows for idempotent operations, making it great for automating config files.

Can you give me a simple example of an Ansible playbook?

Sure! Here's a basic playbook that installs a package:

- hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Install a package
      apt:
        name: git
        state: present

How do I run this playbook?

You can run the playbook using the command: ansible-playbook your_playbook.yml from your terminal.
