How to access predefined Ansible modules in Custom Module?

Question

Can someone please post a example on how to use a predefined Ansible module, in example git module in a Custom Module?

I was trying to convert the below tasks into a single Custom Module

- name: Clone repo on Remote Hosts
  git:
    repo: "{{ git_repo_src }}"
    dest: "{{ git_repo_dest }}"

- name: Fetch template from single Remote Host
  run_once: true
  fetch:
    src: "{{ template_path }}/{{ template_file }}"
    dest: "/tmp/{{ templalte_file }}"
    flat: yes
    fail_on_missing: yes

- name: Template Remote Hosts
  template:
    src: "/tmp/{{ template_file }}"
    dest: "{{ templated_file_dest }}"
    owner: "{{ templated_file_owner }}"
    group: "{{ templated_file_group }}"
    mode: "{{ templated_file_mode }}"

the below tasks into a single custom module

So, what I'm hearing is that you'd like to orchestrate several built-in ansible actions, sometimes conditionally, or with looping, perhaps with some variables and with notifications, and maybe even the ability to store all that in a separate git repo, for easy inclusion/composition?

That does sound familiar

Actually No!! I want to built a custom module to get templates from remote git repo. So for this i want to use predefined git module by ansible in my action plugin – Ritesh Kumar Reddy Kuchukulla Dec 19 '18 at 13:52
Agree, this is not the answer – onknows Oct 08 '19 at 07:23
Indeed, that seems to be the recommended approach and should be the accepted answer. – U880D Jul 12 '23 at 12:05
