📜 Repository Overview

This repository provides a fully automated, optimized setup for managing development environments, system configurations, and infrastructure provisioning. It streamlines workflows with:

• Ansible Playbooks – Automating installations, configuration management, and task execution.
• LazyVim Customizations – Enhancing coding efficiency with intelligent auto-completion, linting, and snippet support.
• Tmux Configurations – Improving session persistence and multitasking with advanced plugins like tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum.
• Infrastructure Automation – Leveraging Ansible,Terraform and Kubernetes for scalable, reproducible cloud-native deployments.
• Bash & Python Scripting – Automating repetitive tasks, integrating APIs, and optimizing system performance.

✨ Features

• Installs and configures Neovim, Tmux, and essential plugins.
• Sets up LazyVim, Tmux plugins, and shell environments like Fish/Zsh.
• Automates dotfile management and workflow optimizations.

📝 Requirements

• Internet connection
• User must have permissions to install packages and run commands as root.

🚀 Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/suresh-chandran-pulikkal/workstation-ansible.git
cd workstation-ansible

2. Install Ansible

Ensure Ansible is installed:

sudo apt install ansible  # Debian-based
