Hi,

Is it possible to download a Github file without Git module to a remote machine (windows) using win\_get\_url or win\_uri module ?

Thankyou,  
Shyam

You can very well use win\_get\_url [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win\_get\_url\_module.html#examples](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_get_url_module.html#examples)
