Environment:

Summary:

I don't know where to provide feedback about ansible-galaxy, an issue might be inappropriate: feel free to move/remove.

When installing roles from the galaxy using ansible-galaxy, I often find myself willing to edit the roles (README typos, code kinks…). This requires manually setting a git tracking (git init, git add remote upstream [github-url-as-seen-on-the-galaxy]).

ansible-galaxy could be configured using an Ansible option (disabled by default) to do just that, so that contributing to the galaxy codebase is made even easier.

I guess the added origin should be named upstream, as illustrated by the GitHub help page on the subject so that people can easily fork (=> git add remote origin git@github.com:me/fork), edit, and send PR to the upstream.
