Remove requirements.yml from template

[p-j-smith]

Short Description

The template contains a requirements.yml, which suggests using it for creating an Ansible role / collection. We could either use the official template for Ansible Collections (https://github.com/ansible-collections/collection_template), or create our own under UCL-ARC with molecule testing and github workflows set up.

You can remove the requirements.yml if you feel it is inappropriate - but I would argue we still need the template. It may seem obvious to us, but it's really good if we can include pre-commit & @renovatebot + CI in all new repos.

I think I included it just to make this work

mirsg-template/.github/workflows/linting.yml

Line 29 in bcb69aa

ansible-roles-config: ./requirements.yml

which obviously is silly in this example

Yeah that's true. Even if a new repo is created using a different template, it's still useful to be able to copy these files quickly from this repo

I think that ansible-roles-config (and requirements.yml) can be removed from this repo now that the default is missing

Agreed. The default was actually always missing, I think I just did it in case people didn't know how to lint with ansible. But it probably causes more confusion than it solves.
