Do we use this file? Do the molecule tests rely on this?

[fao89]

I tried and molecule did not use it, I had to set a variable in molecule

[mdellweg]

Is that a thing? Or did your s/repos/terms/ go mad?

[fao89]

I just copied https://github.com/artis3n/ansible-collection-github and used as placeholder, I modified the code, but I still have to work on the documentation part

[fao89]

@pulp/installer this is a PoC, it makes the collection dependent on the plugin (ansible needs to find the path to the plugin).
wdyt about this plugin for pre-flight?

stale for a while, closing for now
