Hi,

For security issue, I want to enter password when clone git repository. Like -k parameters for ansible-playbook command, is it possible?

Thanks,  
Linbo

It’s not presently possible to pass a password to the git module.

We’d be totally open to feature additions for this, though the argument should be optional and marked with no\_log=True such that it’s not tracked in syslog and elsewhere.
