Role Name

Clone a Users Git Repo in full.

Requirements

Define users in defaults/main.yml to clone all of their repos from.

I created this as I had a need to ensure that all of my GitHub repos were always cloned locally and in-full. I also wanted a way to have the ability to update and commit changes from the cloned destination. In order to do this you must have SSH Keys added to the Users repo in which you want to make changes to. Also allows adding additional GitHub users to github_users variable to pull others repos as well :)

return_items: 100

Execution

After defining the users name in defaults/main.yml you can execute the script that will do everything for you.

./clone_git_repos.sh

Dependencies

None

Notes

This is very rough at this time and only defined with using GitHub. More functionality may or may not be added. Time will determine this. I also created this to possibly use in an automated fashion to clone repos and such. Maybe using Jenkins :) This was all created as a role layout in prepartion of more to come which may leverage this as an actual role.
