a simple ansible script to pull updates from git{hub/lab}

cloudpap

I needed to pull some updates from a script saved in gitlab and deploy it on 36 servers! Well, ansible came to my rescue and below, is the simple script i created to help me with the task.

The script pulls updates from a private repo in gitlab. It will prompt the user for gitlab credentials once then proceed to deploy.

Hope it helps someone!
