In terms of github repos for ansible roles. Does galaxy supports having multiple “roles” in ONE github repo?

For example, let’s assume I have the following github repo [https://github.com/sarlindo/ansiblemidddlewarerepo](https://github.com/jeffwidman/ansiblemidddlewarerepo) and in this github repo I have a bunch of ansible “roles” in separate folders such as “mysql”, “nginx” etc…

Can galaxy retrieve just the particular role I am interested in from this “shared” repo or will it have to download the WHOLE repo with ALL the roles? OR must I have EACH role in a separate github repo?

Did you find a solution forum this?  
Is IT posible tot user one git repo for multiple roles and use the ansible galaxy command OR requirements.yml
