-# Contributing
-
-We follow [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html) in all our contributions and interactions within this repository.
-
-If you are a committer, also refer to the [collection's committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/commit-rights.md).
-
-## Issue tracker
-
-Whether you are looking for an opportunity to contribute or you found a bug and already know how to solve it, please go to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues).
-There you can find feature ideas to implement, reports about bugs to solve, or submit an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it which can help choose a right direction at the beginning of your work and potentially save a lot of time and effort.
-Also somebody may already have started discussing or working on implementing the same or a similar idea,
-so you can cooperate to create a better solution together.
-
-* If you are interested in starting with an easy issue, look for [issues with an `easyfix` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/easyfix).
-* Often issues that are waiting for contributors to pick up have [the `waiting_on_contributor` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/waiting_on_contributor).
-
-## Review pull requests
-
-Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).
-
-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.
-
-## Open pull requests
-
-Please read our ['Contributing to collections'](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections_contributing.html#contributing-to-a-collection-community-general) guide.
-
-* 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 :) )
-* Avoid reformatting unrelated parts of the codebase in your PR. These types of changes will likely be requested for reversion, create additional work for reviewers, and may cause approval to be delayed.
-
-You can also read the Ansible community's [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html).
-
-## Test pull requests
-
-If you want to test a PR locally, refer to [our testing guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_test_pr_locally.html) for instructions on how do it quickly.
-
-If you find any inconsistencies or places in this document which can be improved, feel free to raise an issue or pull request to fix it.
-
-## Run sanity or unit locally (with antsibull-nox)
-
-The easiest way 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.)
-
-### 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. The short version of these instructions is:
-
-```.bash
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-cd ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-```
-
-Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.
-
-### Basic sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run basic sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-### Unit tests
-
-Note that for running unit tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-Right now, you need to install [`community.internal_test_tools`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools).
-If you want to use the latest version from GitHub, you can run:
-```
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/internal_test_tools
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-ansible-test units --docker -v
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-### Integration tests
-
-Note that for running integration tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-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):
-If you want to use the latest versions from GitHub, you can run:
-```
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/ansible
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/ansible/posix
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/crypto
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker.git ~/dev/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
-
-# 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.
-
-## Creating new modules or plugins
-
-Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
-
-1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
-   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
-
-2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
-   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
-   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);
-   - 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/`.
-
-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.

-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)).
-
-These are the guidelines for people with commit privileges on the Ansible Community General Collection GitHub repository. Please read the guidelines before you commit.
-
-These guidelines apply to everyone. At the same time, this is NOT a process document. So just use good judgment. You have been given commit access because we trust your judgment.
-
-That said, use the trust wisely.
-
-If you abuse the trust and break components and builds, and so on, the trust level falls and you may be asked not to commit or you may lose your commit privileges.
-
-Our workflow on GitHub
-----------------------
-
-As a committer, you may already know this, but our workflow forms a lot of our team policies. Please ensure you are aware of the following workflow steps:
-
-* Fork the repository upon which you want to do some work to your own personal repository
-* Work on the specific branch upon which you need to commit
-* Create a Pull Request back to the collection repository and await reviews
-* Adjust code as necessary based on the Comments provided
-* Ask someone from the other committers to do a final review and merge
-
-Sometimes, committers merge their own pull requests. This section is a set of guidelines. If you are changing a comma in a doc or making a very minor change, you can use your best judgement. This is another trust thing. The process is critical for any major change, but for little things or getting something done quickly, use your best judgement and make sure people on the team are aware of your work.
-
-Roles
------
-* Release managers: Merge pull requests to `stable-X` branches, create tags to do releases.
-* Committers: Fine to do PRs for most things, but we should have a timebox. Hanging PRs may merge on the judgement of these devs.
-* Module maintainers: Module maintainers own specific modules and have indirect commit access through the current module PR mechanisms. This is primary [ansibullbot](https://github.com/ansibullbot)'s `shipit` mechanism.
-
-General rules
--------------
-Individuals with direct commit access to this collection repository are entrusted with powers that allow them to do a broad variety of things--probably more than we can write down. Rather than rules, treat these as general *guidelines*, individuals with this power are expected to use their best judgement.
-
-* Do NOTs:
-
-  - 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.
-  - Do not merge to branches other than `main`, especially not to `stable-X`, if you do not have explicit permission to do so.
-  - Do not create tags. Tags are used in the release process, and should only be created by the people responsible for managing the stable branches.
-
-* Do:
-
-  - Squash, avoid merges whenever possible, use GitHub's squash commits or cherry pick if needed (bisect thanks you).
-  - Be active. Committers who have no activity on the project (through merges, triage, commits, and so on) will have their permissions suspended.
-  - Consider backwards compatibility (goes back to "do not break existing playbooks").
-  - Write tests. PRs with tests are looked at with more priority than PRs without tests that should have them included. While not all changes require tests, be sure to add them for bug fixes or functionality changes.
-  - Discuss with other committers, specially when you are unsure of something.
-  - Document! If your PR is a new feature or a change to behavior, make sure you've updated all associated documentation or have notified the right people to do so.
-  - Consider scope, sometimes a fix can be generalized.
-  - Keep it simple, then things are maintainable, debuggable and intelligible.
-
-Committers are expected to continue to follow the same community and contribution guidelines followed by the rest of the Ansible community.
-
-
-People
-------
-
-Individuals who have been asked to become a part of this group have generally been contributing in significant ways to the community.general collection for some time. Should they agree, they are requested to add their names and GitHub IDs to this file, in the section below, through a pull request. Doing so indicates that these individuals agree to act in the ways that their fellow committers trust that they will act.

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-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 :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby <community.general.lists_mergeby#filter>` 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 the documentation for the :ansplugin:`community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml') | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n')  | indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-{% for i in examples[2:6] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive` and :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
-
-**recursive**
-    Is a boolean, default to ``false``. Should the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` filter 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 :ansval:`replace` (default), :ansval:`keep`, :ansval:`append`, :ansval:`prepend`, :ansval:`append_rp` or :ansval:`prepend_rp`. It modifies the behaviour of :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive=true` and display the differences among all six options of :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.combine#filter`. 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') | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') |indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[6:] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') |indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.
