Parallel Git Repos

This role makes it simple to clone from multiple git repositories in parallel.

Requirements

Same as the stock Ansible 2.4 git module itself.

Role Variables

always_force:

When true, ignore any/all local modifications for all repositories. Force clone to desired state, destroying whatever might happen to already be there.

git_op_timeout:

Maximum time to wait (in seconds) for each git operation to complete. Any git repo. clone exceeding this will cause the entire role to fail.

git_op_status_delay:

Interval time (in seconds) between each async. status check. Increase this if all/most git repos are relatively large or slow to clone.

git_def_depth:

The default clone depth to use, set this to null if all/most repos. use tag or version references. Otherwise, simply specify depth in individual git_ops.

git_ops:

List of hashes (dictionaries) which specify Ansible git module arguments and values. All/most standard arguments are supported. Both dest and repo are required, as per usual.

Dependencies

None
