using mutiple times same values

[coach...@gmail.com]

I am trying to create multiple different directory structure using the with_items and again i need to refer the same directory structure in the other plays in the playbook.

for example

- file: name=/jenkins/data/{{item.dir1}}/{{item.dir2}}
  with_items:
     - {dir1: str-build, dir2: gitconfig_dev}
     - {dir1: btr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test}
     - {dir1: ctr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test6}
     ......................................
     there are around 20 items like this
     ......................................
same variable i need to refer in the other play like
- git: repo=http://github/.....   dest=/jenkins/data/{{item1.dir1}}/{{item.dir2}} clone=yes
  with_items:
    - {dir1: str-build, dir2: gitconfig_dev}
    - {dir1: btr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test}
    - {dir1: ctr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test6}

Again in some other play ...so how do i make this global so that we define once with_items and use it in all the other play..
 thank you.

Add it in a variable in group_vars/all.yml then it's global.

all.yml

jenkins_dir:

- {dir1: str-build, dir2: gitconfig_dev}
- {dir1: btr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test}
- {dir1: ctr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test6}

They you can use

with_items: '{{ jenkins_dir }}'
