    Ansible Collection to provision a proprietary Xtal Cloud for administrative and development boxes that require extremely heavy command line usage. This box is designed for those that live in the shell. Can either provision starting from either (1) a fresh, minimal install of RHEL or Rocky Linux or (2) the Xtal EL Base Image.

    The project is written in a way that allows the version control of a customized version of Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The Ansible Collection is assumes almost nothing exists and it is being running on a fresh, minimal installation of EL8 and installs a toolset and custom UI that is meant to give terminal-based workflows a place to shine. Once installed the user will have an OS they can build off of by forking the repo or enjoying as is for daily administrative or development uses.
