macOS Working Group

The macOS Working Group collaborates on macOS and macOS-related technologies in Ansible.

News

• macOS works out of the box with most of the standard Unix modules.
• We formed a Working Group to improve the macOS-specific support in Ansible.
• We have a macOS pinboard, subscribe to it to stay informed!
• There is no automated testing infrastructure for macOS yet, individual testing by contributors/users is critical. This is why we need integration tests for every macOS module.
