ansible-galaxy: Create a new role.
$ ansible-galaxy init ${role_name}
try on your machine

The command "ansible-galaxy init ${role_name}" is used to initialize a new Ansible role.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "ansible-galaxy" refers to the Ansible Galaxy command-line tool, which provides a way to manage Ansible roles.
  • "init" is the subcommand that initializes a new role.
  • "${role_name}" is a placeholder for the name you want to give to your role. It should be replaced with an actual name, written in lowercase, without spaces or special characters.

When you run this command, Ansible Galaxy will create a basic directory structure and files for your role, enabling you to develop and organize your Ansible automation in a structured manner.
