Hello,

I have different git repo of application (code, doc, …), and a repo for each with the role ansible.

Is it possible to merge and put the ansible role in the code repo ?

I’ve tried to make a ansible folder like this :

drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 19 févr. 11:24 ansible
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 15 sept. 10:02 ├── defaults
.rw-r--r--  831 myuser 15 sept. 10:02 │   └── main.yml
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 19 févr. 11:24 ├── handlers
.rw-r--r--  824 myuser 19 févr. 11:24 │   └── main.yml
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 21 août  14:15 ├── meta
.rw-r--r--  295 myuser 19 févr. 11:24 │   └── main.yml
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 15 sept. 10:02 ├── tasks
.rw-r--r-- 2,8k myuser  9 juil. 15:33 │   └── main.yml
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 15 sept. 10:02 └── templates
.rw-r--r--  506 myuser 15 sept. 10:02     └── config.yaml.j2
.rw-r--r-- 2,0k myuser 19 févr. 11:24 justfile
.rw-r--r-- 3,3k myuser  9 juil. 15:33 README.md
.rw-r--r--  148 myuser 22 sept.  2025 renovate.json
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 15 sept. 10:02 src
.rw-r--r-- 2,5k myuser 15 sept. 10:02 ├── conf.rs
.rw-r--r--  298 myuser 22 sept.  2025 ├── errors.rs
.rw-r--r--  10k myuser 15 sept. 10:02 └── main.rs

In my playbooks repo, this is my requirements.yml

[...]
  - name: 'my-rust-project'
    version: '0.0.1'
    scm: git
    src: 'https://gitlab.corp/my-group-app/my-rust-project'
[...]

It works when I launch ansible-galaxy role install -r requirements.yml my-rust-project

But when I look in the role folder, the whole repo is cloned, and it looks like the ansible folder is moved up :

l -T /home/myuser/.ansible/roles/my-rust-project                
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 28 sept. 16:01 /home/myuser/.ansible/roles/my-rust-project
drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 28 sept. 16:01 ├── defaults

drwxr-xr-x    - myuser 28 sept. 16:01 ├── handlers

In this tiny project, it is not a big deal, but I use projects with huge git repo size (with “vendor” subfolder for externals libraries) and it is not pretty :sweat_smile:

Is there any solution to “just clone ansible folder” ?

Thanks !
