clone a specific branch from git through ansible playbook

问题

I am using ansible to deploy my app. I am cloning the app from github using the following:

- name: Deploy site files from Github repository
  sudo: yes
  git: repo=git@github.com:xyz/abc.git dest=/home/{{deploy_user}}/{{app_name}} key_file=/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa accept_hostkey=yes force=yes

I want to clone a specific branch from the repository. I read the documentation of ansible but couldn't find any option to clone a specific branch. It has an option to clone a version but not branch.

回答1:

From the documentation:

version

What version of the repository to check out. This can be the full 40-character SHA-1 hash, the literal string HEAD, a branch name, or a tag name.

(emphasis mine)

回答2:

Use version, here's the example from the docs:

- git:
    repo: git://foosball.example.org/path/to/repo.git
    dest: /srv/checkout
    version: dev
