Default variable details
Some of debops.etckeeper
default variables have more extensive
configuration than simple strings or lists, here you can find documentation and
examples for them.
etckeeper__gitignore
The etckeeper__*_gitignore
variables configure the contents of a section in
the /etc/.gitignore
file managed by the debops.etckeeper
role. This
file specifies which paths (directories, files) should be ignored by
etckeeper and git. You can check the gitignore(5)
manual page for the allowed syntax.
Each entry in the list defined in the variables is a YAML dictionary with specific parameters:
