Hi Folks,  
Can I use roles from several different git repos/locations to single ansible?  
e.g.

Hi

What do you mean by “a single ansible”?

In any case where a role came from (git, in your case) is not relevant, just make sure they are available locally.

The roles docs are reasonably clear:

Hi,  
I used the below option after copying the rules from git and it worked for me.

```auto
<b>- hosts: all
  roles:
    - server
    - /path/to/my/roles/common
    - /path/to/my/client_roles/client</b>

```

```auto
**My intention was to use roles from different locations in a playbook**

```

```auto
