auberge select playbook

Interactively select an Ansible playbook and print its full path to stdout. Alias: auberge se p.

auberge select playbook

Discovers *.yml in the extracted asset tree at $XDG_DATA_HOME/auberge/ansible/playbooks/ — or ./ansible/playbooks/ when AUBERGE_DEV=1. *.meta.yml sidecars are excluded.

ansible run opens this same picker when --playbook is omitted, so wrapping a single call in $(...) buys nothing. Reach for it to pick once and reuse the path — across several commands, or in a tool outside auberge.

The picker draws on stderr, so it stays visible when stdout is captured or piped.

Examples

Pick once, run it against several hosts:

PLAYBOOK=$(auberge select playbook)
auberge ansible run -H auberge -p "$PLAYBOOK"
auberge ansible run -H openclaw -p "$PLAYBOOK"

Inspect the resolved file:

ansible-lint "$(auberge select playbook)"
yq '.[0].roles' "$(auberge select playbook)"

Caution

The printed path points at the extracted copy, not your checkout. Edits there are overwritten on the next version bump — change playbooks in the repo.

Exit 0 on selection, 1 on cancel (Esc) or error.
