AWX will not see my roles in my repo. Can provide me some material to read or even better just provide some directions on how to get it done lol. I keep seeing something about a requirements.yml but I am unsure if I am using it correctly since the roles do not show up.

I found the requirements.yml to be a little confusing to use, as it “skips” it if you manually sync a repo, but if you run a job, it seems to pick it up. The best thing to do is organize your repo according to Ansible best practices [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_best\_practices.html#directory-layout](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_best_practices.html#directory-layout)

Ok thanks for the reply I will create a test repo to mirror my production and restructure the test repo according to the best practices and see if that helps me at all. I’ll be back…thx
