Specify a base directory
If your ansible playbooks live in a git repository, you can use this trick to specify a base directory for resolving your includes:
Add the following line to <INVENTORY_FILE_LOCATION>/group_vars/all:
base: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'git rev-parse --show-toplevel') }}"Now you can do includes like this:
- include: {{ base }}/nginx/setup.yamlWritten by Lorin Hochstein

Might want to use a local play and register it instead, just as that will execute a few too many times if used a lot... we need to get the "PIPE_ONCE" part going.

If I just change that from PIPE to PIPE_ONCE, will that do the trick?

New syntax for ansible using jinja:
base: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'git rev-parse --show-toplevel') }}"
