Get remote_user's home directory

[Jordan]

I have a playbook that installs oh-my-zsh:

---

- name: install zsh

  apt: pkg=zsh update_cache=yes

- name: install oh-my-zsh

  git: repo=git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git

       dest=/home/{{ username }}/.oh-my-zsh

       depth=1

- name: copy zshrc

  template: src=zshrc.j2 dest=/home/{{ username }}/.zshrc owner={{ username }}

- name: setting zsh as default shell

  user: name={{ username }} shell=/bin/zsh

Ideally I wouldn't have a username variable, since I simply want to add everything to the remote_user's home directory. Is there a way to do this?

if you gathered facts as that user, it should be at: ansible_env['HOME']

You also have ansible_user_id which might be useful.
