Hi,

My template has a number of vars\_files. I’m using GIT repo for my project.  
How will this template playbook read info from the included vars\_files ? Any explanation is appreciated.

Regards,  
Prash

I use the include\_vars module in my play to read relative to from the location of where the playbook sits. So say I have my main playbook sitting in the root of a project and I have my somevars.yml in my vars directory in the project

Could look like this :

- name: example  
include\_vars: vars/somevars.yml

As a play in playbook.
