How to clone a git repository and switch to a branch using Powershell/Ansible in Windows?
Create a new folder which would be the parent folder for your code.
New-Item -Path "D:\" -Name "source" -ItemType "directory"
Navigate to the parent folder.
cd D:\source
Set SSL verify as false to avoid/ignore SSL errors.
git config --global http.sslVerify "false"
Clone your repository.
git clone https://username:passowrd@bitbucket.org/repository-name/repo.git
Switch to your branch.
git checkout branch-name
That’s it. When you want to invoke this script in an Ansible playbook, you can use win_shell task to accomplish it.
Full code:
name: clone repository
win_shell: |
New-Item -Path "D:\" -Name "source" -ItemType "directory"
cd D:\source
git config --global http.sslVerify "false"
git clone https://username:passowrd@bitbucket.org/repository-name/repo.git
git checkout branch-name
