I have to clone a git repository in 10 remote servers. Firstly, I want to know that do I need to install git on all the 10 servers or only on local system. Second is I am getting this error - “stderr”: “fatal: could not create leading directories of ‘/opt/rahul/nemp-scripts’: Permission denied\n” when I am trying to clone a repo in a remote server in which git is already installed.

My code looks like below -

tasks:

- name: Clone bitbucket repo  
git:  
repo: ssh://git@git.xyz.git  
dest: /opt/rahul/nemp-scripts  
version: master  
accept\_hostkey: yes  
key\_file: /home/rahul/.ssh/id\_rsa

Any help is appreciated

Thanks
