Hello all !

it’s been a while i have troubles with the shell module:  
as a command is correctly executed in console (even launched as the user awx)

_git push git@savetogit.skylab.local:savetogit/devbackupdesconfigs.git_

but fails through the playbook execution with the output

i’ve already tried a lot of changes (character protection, command line in variable, local script)  
same issue  
the output is

ssh: Could not resolve hostname savetogit.skylab.local: Name or service not know

any idea why such a parsing?

How does your playbook / task look like? In the Git URL above you have savetogit.skylab.local,  
but below you say you want to push to skylab.local.

I think the correct push command for the remote user savetogit would be:

git push savetogit@skylab.local:savetogit/devbackupdesconfigs.git
