title: How to create a file locally with ansible templates on the development machine
body: <p>I'm starting out with ansible and I'm looking for a way to create a boilerplate project on the server and on the local environment with ansible playbooks.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use ansible templates locally to create some generic files.
  But how would i take ansible to execute something locally?</p>
  
  <p>I read something with local_action but i guess i did not get this right.</p>
  
  <p>This is for the webbserver...but how do i take this and create some files locally?</p>
