Hi Junaid, You can convert stdout to json using `jq` binary and `from_json` filter like - tasks: - name: local local\_action: shell chdir=/Volumes/data/src/ansible/ git log --pretty=‘[“%h”, “%an”, “%ae”, “%ad”, “%s”]’ | head -1 | jq register: local\_commit\_info - set\_fact: m: “{{ local\_commit\_info.stdout | from\_json }}” - debug: msg: “{{ m[1] }}” You can `m` directly in your next call.
