NAME
       ansible-pull - set up a remote copy of ansible on each managed node

SYNOPSIS
       ansible -d DEST -U URL [ -C CHECKOUT ]

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
       -d DEST, --directory=DEST
           Directory to checkout git repository into.

       -U URL, --url=URL
           URL of git repository to clone.

       -C CHECKOUT, --checkout=CHECKOUT
           Branch/Tag/Commit to checkout. Defaults to HEAD.
