 You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.

+Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native english speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!

 Also, consider taking up a valuable, reviewed, but abandoned pull request which you could politely ask the original authors to complete yourself.

 * Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
 * Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
-* Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged. To avoid that git automatically does merges during pulls, you can configure it to do rebases instead by running `git config pull.rebase true` inside the repository checkout.
-* Make sure your PR includes a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_development_process.html#creating-a-changelog-fragment).
-  * You must not include a fragment for new modules or new plugins. Also you shouldn't include one for docs-only changes. (If you're not sure, simply don't include one, we'll tell you whether one is needed or not :) )
-  * Please always include a link to the pull request itself, and if the PR is about an issue, also a link to the issue. Also make sure the fragment ends with a period, and begins with a lower-case letter after `-`. (Again, if you don't do this, we'll add suggestions to fix it, so don't worry too much :) )
-* Note that we format the code with `ruff format`. If your change does not match the formatters expectations, CI will fail and your PR will not get merged. See below for how to format code with antsibull-nox.

-## Format code; and run sanity or unit tests locally (with antsibull-nox)
+## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally

-The easiest way to format the code, and to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-nox/).
-(If you have [nox](https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/) installed, it will automatically install antsibull-nox in a virtual environment for you.)
-
-### Format code
-
-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all configured formatters:
-nox -Re formatters
-
-# If you notice discrepancies between your local formatter and CI, you might
-# need to re-generate the virtual environment:
-nox -e formatters
-```
-
-### Sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel -- plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-
-# Run all other sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -R
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, respectively. If you leave `-R` away, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-### Unit tests
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-## Run basic sanity, unit or integration tests locally (with ansible-test)
-
-Instead of using antsibull-nox, you can also run sanity and unit tests with ansible-test directly.
-This also allows you to run integration tests.
-
-You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`. Please see [our testing guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_test_pr_locally.html) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure.

-Right now, depending on the test, you need to install [`ansible.posix`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix), [`community.crypto`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto), and [`community.docker`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker):

-```
-
 The following commands show how to run integration tests:

-#### In Docker
-
-Integration tests on Docker have the following parameters:
-
- `image_name` (required): The name of the Docker image. To get the list of supported Docker images, run
-  `ansible-test integration --help` and look for _target docker images_.
- `test_name` (optional): The name of the integration test.
-  For modules, this equals the short name of the module; for example, `pacman` in case of `community.general.pacman`.
-  For plugins, the plugin type is added before the plugin's short name, for example `callback_yaml` for the `community.general.yaml` callback.
-
 ```.bash
-# Test all plugins/modules on fedora40
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40
+# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
+# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
+ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file

-# Template
-ansible-test integration -v --docker image_name test_name
-
-# Example community.general.ini_file module on fedora40 Docker image:
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40 ini_file
-```
-
-#### Without isolation
-
-```.bash
 # Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
 ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
 ```

 If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.

-## Devcontainer
-
-Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
-create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
-to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.
-
-See the files under [.devcontainer](.devcontainer) for details on what is deployed inside that container.
-
-Beware of:
-
- By default, the devcontainer installs the latest version of `ansible-core`.
-  When testing your changes locally, keep in mind that the collection must support older versions of
-  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
-  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
-  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
-  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
-  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
-  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
-  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
-  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
-  before quitting it.

 2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.

+   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.

 3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:

-   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
-   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
-     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);

+     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
     which run in CI.

-4. Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
-   (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
-   than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
+4. For modules and action plugins, make sure to create your module/plugin in the correct subdirectory, and add a redirect entry
+   in `meta/runtime.yml`. For example, for the `aerospike_migrations` module located in
+   `plugins/modules/database/aerospike/aerospike_migrations.py`, you need to create the following entry:
+   ```.yaml
+       aerospike_migrations:
+         redirect: community.general.database.aerospike.aerospike_migrations
+   ```
+   Here, the relative path `database/aerospike/` is inserted into the module's FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) after the
+   collection's name and before the module's name. This must not be done for other plugin types but modules and action plugins!
+
+   - Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
+     (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
+     than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.

 5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.

   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.
+
+## pre-commit
+
+To help ensure high-quality contributions this repository includes a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration which
+corrects and tests against common issues that would otherwise cause CI to fail. To begin using these pre-commit hooks see
+the [Installation](#installation) section below.
+
+This is optional and not required to contribute to this repository.
+
+### Installation
+
+Follow the [instructions](https://pre-commit.com/#install) provided with pre-commit and run `pre-commit install` under the repository base. If for any reason you would like to disable the pre-commit hooks run `pre-commit uninstall`.
+
+This is optional to run it locally.
+
+You can trigger it locally with `pre-commit run --all-files` or even to run only for a given file `pre-commit run --files YOUR_FILE`.

 Committers Guidelines for community.general
 ===========================================

-This document is based on the [Ansible committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/b57444af14062ec96e0af75fdfc2098c74fe2d9a/docs/docsite/rst/community/committer_guidelines.rst) ([latest version](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/committer_guidelines.html)).

  - Do not commit directly.
  - Do not merge your own PRs. Someone else should have a chance to review and approve the PR merge. You have a small amount of leeway here for very minor changes.
  - Do not forget about non-standard / alternate environments. Consider the alternatives. Yes, people have bad/unusual/strange environments (like binaries from multiple init systems installed), but they are the ones who need us the most.
-  - Do not drag your community team members down. Discuss the technical merits of any pull requests you review. Avoid negativity and personal comments. For more guidance on being a good community member, read the [Ansible Community Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html).

  - Do not forget about the maintenance burden. High-maintenance features may not be worth adding.
  - Do not break playbooks. Always keep backwards compatibility in mind.
  - Do not forget to keep it simple. Complexity breeds all kinds of problems.

+Merging lists of dictionaries
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
+
+.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
+
+Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml')|indent(2) }}
+
+{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
+{{ i.label }}
+
+.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
+
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
+
+{% endfor %}
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
+
+{% for i in examples[2:4] %}
+{{ i.label }}
+
+.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
+
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
+
+{% endfor %}
+
+The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
+
+**recursive**
+    Is a boolean, default to ``False``. Should the ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
+
+**list_merge**
+    Is a string, its possible values are ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
+
+The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
+
+Let us use the lists below in the following examples
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  {{ lookup('file', 'default-recursive-true.yml')|indent(2) }}
+
+{% for i in examples[4:16] %}
+{{ i.label }}
+
+.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
+
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
+
+{% endfor %}

 Grouping
 ^^^^^^^^

-If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.groupby_as_dict filter <community.general.groupby_as_dict#filter>` to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.

 One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:

-Union, intersection and difference of lists
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Starting with Ansible Core 2.16, the builtin filters :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.union#filter`, :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.intersect#filter`, :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.difference#filter` and :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.symmetric_difference#filter` began to behave differently and do no longer preserve the item order. Items in the resulting lists are returned in arbitrary order and the order can vary between subsequent runs.
-
-The Ansible community.general collection provides the following additional list filters:
-
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_union#filter`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_intersect#filter`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_difference#filter`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_symmetric_difference#filter`
-
-These filters preserve the item order, eliminate duplicates and are an extended version of the builtin ones, because they can operate on more than two lists.
-
-.. note:: Stick to the builtin filters, when item order is not important or when you do not need the n-ary operating mode. The builtin filters are faster, because they rely mostly on sets as their underlying datastructure.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. ansible-output-meta::
-
-  actions:
-    - name: reset-previous-blocks
-    - name: set-template
-      template:
-        env:
-          ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_RESULT_FORMAT: yaml
-        variables:
-          data:
-            previous_code_block: yaml
-            previous_code_block_index: 0
-          computation:
-            previous_code_block: yaml+jinja
-        postprocessors:
-          - name: reformat-yaml
-        language: yaml
-        skip_first_lines: 2
-        playbook: |-
-          - hosts: localhost
-            gather_facts: false
-            tasks:
-              - vars:
-                  @{{ data | indent(8) }}@
-                  @{{ computation | indent(8) }}@
-                ansible.builtin.debug:
-                  var: result
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  A: [9, 5, 7, 1, 9, 4, 10, 5, 9, 7]
-  B: [4, 1, 2, 8, 3, 1, 7]
-  C: [10, 2, 1, 9, 1]
-
-The union of ``A`` and ``B`` can be written as:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_union(B) }}"
-
-This statement produces:
-
-.. ansible-output-data::
-
-    playbook: ~
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result:
-    - 9
-    - 5
-    - 7
-    - 1
-    - 4
-    - 10
-    - 2
-    - 8
-    - 3
-
-If you want to calculate the intersection of ``A``, ``B`` and ``C``, you can use the following statement:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_intersect(B, C) }}"
-
-Alternatively, you can use a list of lists as an input of the filter
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ [A, B] | community.general.lists_intersect(C) }}"
-
-or
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ [A, B, C] | community.general.lists_intersect(flatten=true) }}"
-
-All three statements are equivalent and give:
-
-.. ansible-output-data::
-
-    playbook: ~
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result:
-    - 1
-
-.. note:: Be aware that in most cases, filter calls without any argument require ``flatten=true``, otherwise the input is returned as result. The reason for this is, that the input is considered as a variable argument and is wrapped by an additional outer list. ``flatten=true`` ensures that this list is removed before the input is processed by the filter logic.
-
-The filters :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_difference#filter` or :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_symmetric_difference#filter` can be used in the same way as the filters in the examples above. They calculate the difference or the symmetric difference between two or more lists and preserve the item order.
-
-For example, the symmetric difference of ``A``, ``B`` and ``C`` may be written as:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_symmetric_difference(B, C) }}"
-
-This gives:
-
-.. ansible-output-data::
-
-    playbook: ~
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result:
-    - 5
-    - 8
-    - 3
-    - 1

 Paths

-The :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.path_join filter <ansible.builtin.path_join#filter>` has been added in ansible-base 2.10. Community.general 3.0.0 and newer contains an alias ``community.general.path_join`` for this filter that could be used on Ansible 2.9 as well. Since community.general no longer supports Ansible 2.9, this is now a simple redirect to :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.path_join filter <ansible.builtin.path_join#filter>`.
+The ``path_join`` filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use ``community.general``'s ``path_join`` shim, ``community.general.path_join``. This filter redirects to ``path_join`` for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.
