You may want to use `stat` module. Get checksum of files and perform action
based upon that -
```
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- stat:
path: "./a"
register: a_stat
- stat:
path: "./b"
register: b_stat
- debug:
msg: "Files are same, perform something when they are same"
when: a_stat.stat.checksum == b_stat.stat.checksum
```
