About:
Ansible Creator is a command-line utility designed to accelerate Ansible development by generating boilerplate code for playbooks, roles, collections, and modules. It streamlines the setup of new Ansible projects, ensuring best practices and consistent directory structures. This tool significantly reduces the initial configuration overhead for automation engineers and developers.
