ansible-galaxy: Get information about a user role.
$ ansible-galaxy role info ${username}.${role_name}
try on your machine

The command ansible-galaxy role info ${username}.${role_name} is used to retrieve information about an Ansible role from the Ansible Galaxy repository.

Let's break down the components of the command:

  • ansible-galaxy role info: This is the command to retrieve information about an Ansible role.
  • ${username}.${role_name}: This is the fully qualified name of the role you want to get information about. The ${username} refers to the username or organization name of the role author, and ${role_name} is the name of the role.

When you run this command, Ansible Galaxy will fetch and display detailed metadata about the specified role, such as the role name, author information, description, dependencies, and other relevant details. It helps users to understand and gather information about a role before deciding to use it in their Ansible playbooks.
