You need to register the repo, then add you build dir and finally the deployment stage when changed. For example :

- name: clone repository  
git: [repo=git@bitbucket.org](mailto:repo=git@bitbucket.org):repo/repo.git  
dest={{ repo.dir }}  
accept\_hostkey=yes  
register: gitrepo

- name: build  
command: “{{ item }}”  
with\_items:

- update

- make  
when: gitrepo.changed

```auto

```
