+SYNOPSIS

+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+*Ansible* is an extra-simple tool/framework/API for doing \'remote things' over
+SSH.
+
+Use ansible-pull to set up a remote copy of ansible on each managed
+node, each set to run via cron and update playbook source via
+git. This inverts the default *push* architecture of ansible into a
+*pull* architecture, which has near-limitless scaling potential.
+
+The setup playbook can be tuned to change the cron frequency, logging
+locations, and parameters to ansible-pull.
+
+This is useful both for extreme scale-out as well as periodic
+remediation. Usage of the 'fetch' module to retrieve logs from
+ansible-pull runs would be an excellent way to gather and analyze
+remote logs from ansible-pull.
+
+
+OPTIONS

+Directory to checkout git repository into.

+*-U* 'URL', *--url=*'URL'::

+URL of git repository to clone.
