Ansible Role: Build Git from Source

This Ansible role helps you to build a version of Git from its source code for Linux systems.

Requirements

This role is meant for Linux systems.

It will install Git from source code and add the installed version to the system's PATH.

• Works on systems behind proxy servers.
• Checks the authenticity of the source code archive.

Git will be installed in: /usr/src/git-{{git_version}}. The system's PATH variable will be updated to include this location, defined in: /etc/profile.d/git-path.sh.

Note: You need to have become privileges enabled to use this role.

Role Variables

Optional:

git_version: "2.21.0" # Specify a valid Git version

git_proxy_env: { # Change if necessary
  no_proxy: ""
}

If you're using a proxy, you can modify the git_proxy_env with proxy environment variables.

Dependencies

None
