Use cookiecutter to conveniently manage the module skeleton

[gwarf]

Example of a cookiecutter template for ansible role: https://github.com/FGtatsuro/cookiecutter-ansible-role

Benefits:

• More variable interpolations
• No need to clone ansible-style-guide and to use path to skeleton in the template

Yes, I originally wanted to use cookie cutter for generating the skeleton before, but I didn't have enough time to really write the templates properly. I think this would be a really good addition. This could really speed things up particularly in generating meta and molecule. Specifically, molecule is not part of the galaxy init bit, so you would have an automated default scenario generated for you -- or you could maybe turn that off with a bool.

@gwarf is this still needed? Are we generating many ansible repos?

[gwarf]

We are likely doing it less than what we should :) I'm fine with closing this issue, I don't have any energy for it.

hey guys 👋🏾 I reckon you should close this. I created https://github.com/brucellino/ansible-role-template which uses the github "create from template" functionality.

[gwarf]

Hey Bruce! Good to see you around :) Let's close for now, indeed the repo template is cool for this!
