Examples

# Example creating a new service hook. It ignores duplicates.
- github_hooks:
    action: create
    hookurl: http://11.111.111.111:2222
    user: '{{ gituser }}'
    oauthkey: '{{ oauthkey }}'
    repo: https://api.github.com/repos/pcgentry/Github-Auto-Deploy

# Cleaning all hooks for this repo that had an error on the last update. Since this works for all hooks in a repo it is probably best that this would
# be called from a handler.
- github_hooks:
    action: cleanall
    user: '{{ gituser }}'
    oauthkey: '{{ oauthkey }}'
    repo: '{{ repo }}'
  delegate_to: localhost
