Ansible Role: Clone and Upload Git Repository 1.0

An Ansible role that clones a git repository locally and uploads it to a target host in a compressed and secure manner.

    mode: 644 # mode for remote directory
git_site: github.com # or bitbucket.org, etc

    repo: # name of the respotiry, no default
    destination: # remote directory for repo to be exported to, no default
