NAME

   ansible-lint - lint tool for Ansible playbooks

SYNOPSIS

   ansible-lint [-M module_path] [-l] [-s] [module...]

DESCRIPTION

   ansible-lint checks Ansible playbooks for practices and behaviour that could potentially be improved.

OPTIONS

   --version:

   show program’s version number and exit

   -M DIRECTORY, --module-path=DIRECTORY
       the DIRECTORY search path to load modules from. The default is /usr/share/ansible. This can also be set with the ANSIBLE_LIBRARY environment variable.

   -s, --snippet=
       Produce a snippet which can be copied into a playbook for modification, like a kind of task template.

   -l, --list=
       Produce a terse listing of modules and a short description of each.

   -h, --help
       show this help message and exit

   -L
       list all the rules

   -q
       quieter, although not silent output

   -p
       parseable output in the format of pep8

   -r RULESDIR
       specify one or more rules directories using one or more -r arguments. Any -r flags override the default rules in
       /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansiblelint/rules, unless -R is also used.

   -R
       Use default rules in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansiblelint/rules in addition to any extra rules directories specified with -r. There is no need to
       specify this if no -r flags are used

   -t TAGS
       only check rules whose id/tags match these values

   -T
       list all the tags

   -v
       Increase verbosity level

   -x SKIP_LIST
       only check rules whose id/tags do not match these values

   --nocolor
       disable colored output

   --force-color
       Try force colored output (relying on ansible’s code)

   --exclude=EXCLUDE_PATHS
       path to directories or files to skip. This option is repeatable.
