53_remove_shell_aliases.yml - Usage Guide

Modifies State Cleanup

Purpose

Lists or, with confirmation, fully removes all Ansible alias packs installed by 43–51.

  • Default: reports packs under ~/.ansible-shell-aliases/, does not delete.
  • shell_aliases_remove_all_confirm=true: deletes the directory (and any leftover ~/.ansible-zsh-aliases) and removes the # ANSIBLE MANAGED SHELL ALIASES block from the login shell rc file.

To revert a single pack, run the matching 43–51 playbook with shell_aliases_state=absent. 53 is the nuclear option.

Lines outside that block in the user’s rc file are left untouched.

Variables

Variable Default Description
shell_aliases_remove_all_confirm false Delete all packs and the rc block
shell_aliases_target_user ansible_user User to clean
shell_aliases_rc_files from login shell Extra rc files to search when removing the block

How to run 

# What is installed?
ansible-playbook -i inventories/musteri_a/hosts.ini playbooks/53_remove_shell_aliases.yml

# Remove everything:
ansible-playbook -i inventories/musteri_a/hosts.ini playbooks/53_remove_shell_aliases.yml \
  --extra-vars 'shell_aliases_remove_all_confirm=true'

After cleanup, open a new session or source the rc file again; otherwise the current shell may still keep old functions in memory.
