Ansible config for easy hopping between computers

ansible's Issues

If user exists, don't ask for a new password

Right now, if a user exists AND IS THE USER RUNNING THE SCRIPT, then the password won't change.
Otherwise, if a different user is running the script, BUT THE USER IN THE HOSTS_VARS FILE STILL EXISTS, then the password will be modified for that user.

Change the script to NOT ask for a password if the user is already present on the system, regardless of it being or not the user running the script.

Fix pyenv and fzf tasks

The decision was to install both tools through git rather than the respective package managers, in order to have a unified interface. The tasks for both of these tools (and maybe others as well) should be fixed in ansible.

Give the user a chance to modify HOSTS_VARS

With the current installation process, the user cannot modify the HOSTS_VARS file before the whole ansible playbook executes.
The alternative is manually cloning the repo and modifying the file, and then running sh install.sh.

A solution would be stopping the process and letting the user modify the variables, or simply adding script parameters with overridable defaults.

Update new versions of software, verify playbook still works

Update versions of tools.

Check that the playbook still works (note: seems there are some problems with make clean/distclean not found for some of the tools - tmux and neovim).
