Role structure in ansible_collections/namespace/collection_name/roles

Hi Team,

I would like to know whether we have to manually create the role structure within a collection, as when creating a skeleton of collection by the following command:
ansible-galaxy collection init namespace.collection_name
it did create the skeleton but the role directory is empty. Is it the default behavior while creating the collection skeleton that the role directory is empty?

Yes, by default it does not assume you want a role. You can always use
ansible-galaxy to create a role skeletons in the specific collection,
just as it is used to create a stand alone role directory.
