add inventory command #11

Closed saltydk closed 10 months ago

Add some type of command that just opens the inventory file with nano for easy access.

Might be cool to add a config variable (maybe in adv_settings.yml?) to customize the editor according to the user's preferences.

Should just use $EDITOR

Sourced from where? It isn't set in my session by default at least.

The shell task sets it as nano

We cannot use anything user based as it needs to work before preinstall.

I can do something like

edit-inventory () {
    ${EDITOR:-nano} "/srv/git/saltbox/inventories/host_vars/localhost.yml"
}

However, this script runs as root so it is not aware of the user ENV.
