Well, it's all about centralizing Configuration as Code in such a way that everybody can easily access the same code within a company. So in small environments, Configuration as Code is often stored on the Ansible operator workstation, where the Ansible operator, that's you. In larger environments, it doesn't work very well if every operator is going to store their code individually. And that is why a central code repository should be used. Git is a de facto standard for managing centralized access to code. And by using Git for storing the code files, versioning can easily be applied to ensure that everyone uses the same code. Now I'm not going to give you a complete course in Git, but I do want to show you a quick overview of how I'm using GitHub in my daily work. So here we go.
