ansible git module is used to checkout or download the code from your github or bitbucket or gitlab account. With ansible git module we can check out the code OR we can clone the github repository into your system and we can archive the code in zip or any format. In this blog post i will describe different ansible git module examples or how to use git with ansible.

Checkout The Code From Github Using Ansible [OR]

Clone The Github Repository With Ansible

root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# cat git.yml


---
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    username: decodingdevops
    token: d6sdfshhghyjggj448t8tnt9h
    repo_name: devops

  tasks:
  - name: Checkout The Code From Github Using Ansible.
    git:
     repo: 'https://{{ token }}@github.com/{{ username }}/{{ repo_name }}.git'
     dest: /root/mycode

In ansible git module generally we have to pass two arguments those are repo and dest. Repo represents the your github repository url and dest represents the path in which directory/folder you want to checkout the code. In above example my github code will be downloaded into /root/mycode directory.

root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# ansible-playbook sda.yml



PLAY [localhost] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Checkout The Code From Github Using Ansible.] ************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost]

PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=1    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# ls

mycode  git.yml

Note: Here i mentioned destination directory as mycode so entire your repository code will be downloaded into this folder. This will not create any directory with your repository name in destination directory. Generally if we clone the GitHub repository we will get entire repository as a directory. If you want to clone repository with the same name, enter destination directory same as repository name. In above example my github repository name is devops but i cloned as a mycode directory.
