I’m trying to upload my first ansible-galaxy project.

I followed the instructions on the About tab.

I’m not sure if there is a separate “getting started” doc referred to in the message. Not sure what the problem is. meta/main.yml is there.

What is the github repository you’re trying to import? It could just be a github API glitch, so you might just need to hit the refresh button on it.

Ahh, I see your problem. The import currently expects the role directories to be in the root of the git repo. So right now you’ve got `ad_hoc_logging_and_diagnostics/meta/main.yml` where it just expects to find `meta/main.yml`. We do have a feature request to support keeping roles in sub-directories like that, but for right now you’ll just need to move all of your directories up one level and refresh.

After that you should be fine.

that worked.

I think the problem was in following the “about” instructions

```auto
$ git clone [https://username@github.com/username/acme](https://username@github.com/username/acme)

```

Change into the acme directory and use the ansible-galaxy CLI to create the scaffolding of a role:

```auto
$ ansible-galaxy init acme

```

```auto

```

```auto
If you do that, you end up with

```

```auto
acme/acme/meta,roles,vars...

```

```auto

```

```auto
New structure that loaded fine

```

```auto

Yes, that doesn’t seem quite right. The way I do it is:

1. git clone foo

2. ansible-galaxy init foo --force

3. cd foo  

4. git add \*

5. git commit && git push
