Kindly suggest a solution.
I assume you want to manually control, what the differences are.
Automating this is difficult.
I would use a template task, put the file you just got into your
ansible folder as the template src file and then run the
ansible-playbook command with --check --diff:
# File foobar.yml
- hosts: foobar
tasks:
- template:
src: "file_you_just_got"
dest: "/path/to/file/on/remote/server"
check_mode: yes
Then run the playbook foobar.yml like this:
ansible-playbook foobar.yml --check --diff
