ansible-tower-cli 3.3.7

A CLI tool for Ansible Tower and AWX.

Welcome to tower-cli

tower-cli is a legacy command line tool for Ansible Tower.

It is also what the Ansible tower_* modules use under the hood. Such as:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/tower_organization_module.html

These modules are now vendored as part of the AWX collection at:

https://galaxy.ansible.com/awx/awx

Supporting correct operation of the modules is the maintenance aim of this package.

Anyone developing new tooling around AWX or Ansible Tower via a Unix command line is suggested to use the new CLI.
