Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy. Avoid writing scripts or custom code to deploy and update your applications — automate in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/

There is a subtle bug in how the git module currently works. If the version you request is a tag name, and you've already got the repo cloned, and the tag name is a new tag, but refers to the already checked out working copy, the git module would exit early without change. This is bad as it means the new tag ref was not fetched and could not be used in later tasks. This change will check if the version is a remote tag, and if the tag doesn't exist locally. If that is true, it'll do a fetch. The activity could still be seen as not a change, because the working copy won't be updated, if the new tag refers to the already checked out copy, but that's not different than before and can be fixed as a more comprehensive overhaul of tracking change in the git module. |

Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to releases.ansible.com and you can also install with pip.
Design Principles
- Dead simple setup
- Super fast & parallel by default
- No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
- No additional software required on client boxes
- Modules can be written in ANY language
- Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
- Be usable as non-root
- The easiest config management system to use, ever.
Get Involved
- Read Contributing.md for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
- When submitting a bug report, include 1) the output of 'ansible --version', 2) what you expected to happen, 3) what actually happened, and 4) any relevant commands and output.
- All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use "git rebase" vs "git merge" for this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed.
