tasks, roles and modules: how best to compose functionality?

[nrser]

i'm just getting started with Ansible, and would appreciate some help on how best to compose functionality with tasks, roles and modules.

i'm thinking of a basic structure that i imagine is somewhat common, where

• hosts have projects
  
• projects have github repos
• github repos have git module tasks that actually clone the repo

some pseudo code:

some-project

  github_repo:

    owner: nrser

    name: some-project

github_repo

  git:

    repo: g...@github.com:{{ owner }}/{{ name }}

    dest: "{{ gh_root }}/{{ owner }}/{{ name }}

how should i accomplish this in Ansible? should `some-project` and `github_repo` be tasks, roles...?

Have a look at 'parameterized roles' at :
