ansible-pull: Pull a playbook from a VCS at a specific branch and execute a specific playbook.
$ ansible-pull -U ${repository_url} -C ${branch} ${playbook}
try on your machine

The command ansible-pull is used in Ansible to pull and run playbooks from a remote repository. Here's the explanation of each option and variable used in the command:

  • ansible-pull: It is the command used to pull and execute the playbooks.
  • -U ${repository_url}: This option is used to specify the URL of the remote repository from which the playbooks will be pulled. The ${repository_url} is a variable that should be replaced with the actual URL of the repository.
  • -C ${branch}: This option is used to specify the branch of the repository to pull from. The ${branch} is a variable that should be replaced with the desired branch name.
  • ${playbook}: This is the name of the playbook file to run after pulling from the repository. It can be either a relative path to a specific playbook file or the name of a playbook within the repository.
