Same thing here -- I assumed it was just me. I just looked in my Spam folder, and the last two posts that I missed were there. Seems odd -- my filter had marked them as TLUG messages. Alex On Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 12:26 PM, David Thornton <northdot9@gmail.com> wrote:
Why didn't i see the original post? Was it sent to GTALUG?
The way I would do what you want to do is, that I would copy the current /etc/ansible to the repo's root and then symlink back.
Alternatively I would make a new repo in /etc/ansible.
Finally, the most hacky way (read: prone to unexpected consequences ): do a commit hook that copies / merges the /etc/ansible to <reporoot>/etc/ansible/

I have a git repo called configurations. I want to add the directory /etc/ansible to the repo.
Problem is when I clone the repo, I am not able to commit the ansible

Is there a way of getting the ansible directory into git without using
a symlink?
No. The work tree has to existing in the same root directory and cannot be outside the repository.
The only two way you could do it is with a symlink or making /etc/ansible a git repo. etckeeper[1] might be checking out as while.
