title: Ansible remote templates
body: <p>I have templates for configuration files stored in my project's repositories. What I would like to do is use Ansible's template module to create a configuration file using that template on the remote server, after the project has been cloned from the repository.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at the documentation for the <a href="http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/template_module.html" rel="noreferrer">template</a> module it appears that the <code>src</code> attribute only supports local files.</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to avoid storing the configuration template with my Ansible playbook as it makes more sense for me to keep these project specific templates within the project repository.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an alternative to the template module that I could use? </p>
