mkrole - create an ansible role skeleton

mkrole

#!/bin/sh
# create the directory structure and some files
# for an ansible role

ROLE=$1

if [ -z "$ROLE" ]; then
    echo "need a role name"
    exit 1
fi

mkdir -p $ROLE/{tasks,handlers,templates,files,vars,meta}
echo "---" | tee $ROLE/{tasks,handlers,vars,meta}/main.yml > /dev/null

Good use of tee

This only works if sh is an alias to bash (which is very often not true) - I've had to change the shebang to point at bash. Sorry for commenting instead of creating a PR - that seemed a bit too excessive for adding two characters into your script! :)
