How can Ansible Role be stored and managed in the Git version control system?

Ansible Role can be stored in Git as a separate repository or as part of a monorepository with other roles and playbooks. Typically, the role structure adheres to the Ansible standard (directories like tasks, handlers, templates, vars, etc.).

To manage roles in Git:

• Create a separate repository for the role or a roles/ folder in a common repository.
• Use semantic tags (e.g., v1.0.0) for versioning the role.
• For dependencies between roles, you can use a requirements.yml file and ansible-galaxy to install the required versions.
• When working with multiple roles, it is convenient to use Git submodules or tools like ansible-galaxy install with a Git source.

Example of a role structure in Git:

my-ansible-role/
├── tasks/
│   └── main.yml
├── handlers/
│   └── main.yml
├── templates/
├── vars/
│   └── main.yml
├── defaults/
│   └── main.yml
├── meta/
│   └── main.yml
└── README.md

Thus, the role becomes reusable, versioned, and easily integrable into different projects via Git.
