Hi AWX/Tower Community - Having an issue with sourcing my inventory from a repository in Ansible Tower 3.5.3. My inventories are stored in yaml files up in a repo. I have a project called “Repo - Inventories” that calls on that repo, but I have to manually update the project every time I make a change to the inventory, instead of it automatically updating when called upon. Here are the settings I have for that project: ![!project.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/a/a519506631de0c3726c870a2d8e9885e645e3ffc.jpeg) Here are my settings for the inventory source: ![!source.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/e/e62889e42e168b68e1ebe1bce7660a8c7047bf9d.jpeg) I would assume these settings would automatically update the inventory any time a template calls on it, but they are not. Does anyone know how can I get it so tower gets the latest inventory files when launching anything against my inventories based in source control? Thanks in advance! ---

In tower /awx ive never sourced my inventory from a repo. You do that through other means. > **(attachments)** > > ![!project.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/a/a519506631de0c3726c870a2d8e9885e645e3ffc.jpeg) > ![!source.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/e/e62889e42e168b68e1ebe1bce7660a8c7047bf9d.jpeg) ---

I was under the impression this was a supported setup - How else would you store your inventory in source control? ---

Then use inventory scripts or custom ones to dynamically pull it in ---

I had a look for you. [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/scm-inv-source.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/scm-inv-source.html) May apply to awx. I have a older build. ---

Yes, I’ve used this with AWX and it works. It even merges several inventories as you can have several sources (file, script, etc) in that inventory. Regards, Nuno Jordão
