Surely there is a better way?

galaxy_workflow.md

• You are working on your playbook at ~/dev/mycoolplaybook
• You decide to extract a role to post it on the galaxy
  • Copy coolrole from mycoolplaybook
  • Copy to ~/somewhere/github/mycoolrole
    • Git init the directory and add in the galaxy metadata.
    • Push it to github.
    • Add it to the galaxy.
  • Galaxy install the role.
  • Rename the role declaration in your site.yml to match the new name.
  • Run the role to make sure it works after all of that shuffling around.

But now while working on mycoolplaybook you decide you need to add a feature to the galaxy role or fix a bug.

• Copy the role from /etc/ansible/roles/galaxyname.coolrole
• Copy to ~/dev/mycoolplaybook/roles
• Make necessary adjustments until you are happy.
• Copy that updated role over to ~/somewhere/github/mycoolrole
  • Git commit and push it.
  • Create a new release on github so people using galaxy have a way to fix the version number.
• Run the role to make sure it works after all of that shuffling around.
