How to pull code from local machine

[9dev...@gmail.com]

I do not have remote git repo, only a local one. Is it possible to pull a local repo to a remote machine?

I tried the following:

- name: pull the code
  git: repo=file:///home/username/myproject/.git dest=/var/www

and got an error:

stderr: fatal: '/home/username/myproject/.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

stderr: fatal: '/home/username/myproject/.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Have you tried if the actual git command succeeds?

git clone file:///home/username/myproject/.git

I suspect that it should be:

git clone file:///home/username/myproject

Cheers,

Paul

The docs for the module don't specifically mention local repos, but I can't see anything that would prevent it and it worked for me. I think you just need to remove the trailing .git in the repo specification. Try:

- name: pull the code
  git: repo=file:///home/username/myproject/ dest=/var/www

"Is it possible to pull a local repo to a remote machine?"

Not directly.

You could check out locally and use the synchronize module instead.

Sorry, disregard my comment - I misread the question. I missed the reference to the remote machine and was assuming all directories mentioned were local, and the play was being executed with '-c local'. This does seem to work, but probably isn't what is being requested.

Yeah don't use -c local if just some of your machines are local

- hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  tasks:

     - ...

- hosts: other

  tasks:

     - ...

You can also set ansible_connection=local as an inventory variable.

Ansible will assume localhost means local if not explicitly defined in inventory.
