ansible-apply 0.1.1

Ansible-apply takes the tasks file spec as first argument:

ansible-apply role.name
ansible-apply role.name/some_tasks
ansible-apply https://some/playbook.yml
ansible-apply ./playbook.yml

It will automatically download the playbook or role if not found.

Then, the command takes any number of hosts and inventory variables on the command line:

ansible-apply role.name server1 server2 update=true

Finnaly, any argument passed with dashes are forwarded to the ansible-playbook command it generates, but named args must use the = notation, and not a space to not confuse the command line parser:

# works:
ansible-apply role.name server2 update=true --become-user=root
# does not:
ansible-apply role.name server2 update=true --become-user root
