Hello!

I’m noticing that Ansible Galaxy has a new interface, cool!

But I’m unsure on where the “import” button now is, I have updated an Ansible role I’ve created that I’d like to import again. It seems like we have to do this via CLI now: [How to Import ansible role on galaxy.ansible.com - #9 by ryhennessy](http://forum.ansible.com/t/how-to-import-ansible-role-on-galaxy-ansible-com/1248/9)

Fair enough, so I got about constructing a ansible.cfg containing:

```auto

[galaxy]
server_list = beta

[galaxy_server.beta]
url = https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/
token = REDACTED

```

But when I attempt to re-import this role I get:

```auto
pcadmin@workstation:~/projects$ ansible-galaxy role import -vv --branch main PC-Admin https://github.com/PC-Admin/ansible-role-ufw.git
ansible-galaxy [core 2.15.4]
  config file = /home/pcadmin/projects/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/pcadmin/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']

  ansible collection location = /home/pcadmin/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections

  jinja version = 3.0.3
  libyaml = True

Hi,

> git clone for [https://github.com/PC-Admin/https://github.com/PC-Admin/ansible-role-ufw.git](https://github.com/PC-Admin/https://github.com/PC-Admin/ansible-role-ufw.git) failed

I think `ansible-galaxy role import` command last argument should be the Github repo name, not url.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was able to get imports working like so:

```auto
pcadmin@workstation:~/projects/ansible-role-ufw$ ansible-galaxy role import -vv --branch main PC-Admin ansible-role-ufw
ansible-galaxy [core 2.15.4]
  config file = /home/pcadmin/projects/ansible-role-ufw/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/pcadmin/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/pcadmin/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-galaxy
  python version = 3.10.12 (main, Jun 11 2023, 05:26:28) [GCC 11.4.0] (/usr/bin/python3)
  jinja version = 3.0.3
  libyaml = True
Using /home/pcadmin/projects/ansible-role-ufw/ansible.cfg as config file
Successfully submitted import request 2050956644370976325379389507807629649
