Simple Pull

A similar to ansible-pull Ansible role, implemented with git clone and ansible-playbook commands.

Need for this was because ansible-pull doesn't support downloading playbook dependencies from Galaxy before running the playbook. This playbook might become unnecessary when ansible-pull support it.

Originally based on Stouts.pull, the playbook started to look so much different that I decided to split it to it's own playbook.

The role allows you to setup easily automatic updates for your server with simple-pull.

• Install and configure simple-pull;
• Setup SSH hosts and keys;
• Follow repositories and run ansible playbooks;
• Rotate logs;
