+# Configuration
+
+Customize how Ansible-lint runs against automation content to suit your needs.
+You can ignore certain rules, enable `opt-in` rules, and control various other
+settings.
+
+Ansible-lint loads configuration from a file in the current working directory or
+from a file that you specify in the command line. If you provide configuration
+on both via a config file and on the command line, list values are merged (for
+example `exclude_paths`) and **True** is preferred for boolean values like
+`quiet`.
+
+## Using local configuration files
+
+Specify Ansible-lint configuration in either `.ansible-lint`,
+`.config/ansible-lint.yml`, or `.config/ansible-lint.yaml` in your current
+working directory.
+
+!!! note
+
+ If Ansible-lint cannot find a configuration file in the current directory it attempts to locate it in a parent directory.
+ However Ansible-lint does not try to load configuration that is outside the git repository.
+
+## Specifying configuration files
+
+Use the `-c <filename>` CLI flag with command line invocations of Ansible-lint,
+for example:
+
+```bash
+ansible-lint -c path/to/ansible-lint-dev.yml
+```
+
+## Ansible-lint configuration
+
+The following values are supported, and function identically to their CLI
+counterparts:
+
+```yaml
+{!../.ansible-lint!}
+```
+
+## Ignoring rules for entire files
+
+Ansible-lint will load skip rules from an `.ansible-lint-ignore` or
+`.config/ansible-lint-ignore.txt` file that should reside adjacent to the config
+file. The file format is very simple, containing the filename and the rule to be
+ignored. It also supports comments starting with `#`.
+
+```yaml title=".ansible-lint-ignore"
+# this is just a comment
+playbook.yml package-latest # disable package-latest rule for playbook.yml
+playbook.yml deprecated-module
+```
+
+The file can also be created by adding `--generate-ignore` to the command line.
+Keep in mind that this will override any existing file content.
+
+## Pre-commit setup
+
+To use Ansible-lint with [pre-commit], add the following to the
+`.pre-commit-config.yaml` file in your local repository.
+
+Change **rev:** to either a commit sha or tag of Ansible-lint that contains
+`.pre-commit-hooks.yaml`.
+
+```yaml
+- repo: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint
+ rev: ... # put latest release tag from https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/releases/
+ hooks:
+ - id: ansible-lint
+```

+# Contributing to Ansible-lint
+
+To contribute to ansible-lint, please use pull requests on a branch of your own
+fork.
+
+After [creating your fork on GitHub], you can do:
+
+```shell-session
+$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:your-name/ansible-lint
+$ cd ansible-lint
+$ git checkout -b your-branch-name
+# DO SOME CODING HERE
+$ git add your new files
+$ git commit -v
+$ git push origin your-branch-name
+```
+
+You will then be able to create a pull request from your commit.
+
+All fixes to core functionality (i.e. anything except docs or examples) should
+be accompanied by tests that fail prior to your change and succeed afterwards.
+
+Feel free to raise issues in the repo if you feel unable to contribute a code
+fix.
+
+## Standards
+
+ansible-lint works only with supported Ansible versions at the time it was
+released.
+
+Automated tests will be run against all PRs, to run checks locally before
+pushing commits, just use [tox](https://tox.wiki/en/latest/).
+

+
+## Talk to us
+
+Use Github [discussions] forum or for a live chat experience try
+`#ansible-devtools` IRC channel on libera.chat or Matrix room
+[#devtools:ansible.com](https://matrix.to/#/#devtools:ansible.com).
+
+For the full list of Ansible IRC and Mailing list, please see the [Ansible
+Communication] page. Release announcements will be made to the [Ansible
+Announce] list.
+
+Possible security bugs should be reported via email to
+<mailto:security@ansible.com>.
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+As with all Ansible projects, we have a [Code of Conduct].

+
+## Module dependency graph
+
+Extra care should be taken when considering adding any dependency. Removing most
+dependencies on Ansible internals is desired as these can change without any
+warning.
+
+```bash exec="1" source="console"
+_PIP_USE_IMPORTLIB_METADATA=0 pipdeptree -p ansible-lint
+```
+
+## Adding a new rule
+
+Writing a new rule is as easy as adding a single new rule, one that combines
+**implementation, testing and documentation**.
+
+One good example is [MetaTagValidRule] which can easily be copied in order to
+create a new rule by following the steps below:
+
+- Use a short but clear class name, which must match the filename
+- Pick an unused `id`, the first number is used to determine rule section. Look
+ at [rules](rules/index.md) page and pick one that matches the best your new
+ rule and ee which one fits best.
+- Include `experimental` tag. Any new rule must stay as experimental for at
+ least two weeks until this tag is removed in next major release.
+- Update all class level variables.
+- Implement linting methods needed by your rule, these are those starting with
+ **match** prefix. Implement only those you need. For the moment you will need
+ to look at how similar rules were implemented to figure out what to do.
+- Update the tests. It must have at least one test and likely also a negative
+ match one.
+- If the rule is task specific, it may be best to include a test to verify its
+ use inside blocks as well.
+- Optionally run only the rule specific tests with a command like:
+ {command}`tox -e py -- -k NewRule`
+- Run {command}`tox` in order to run all ansible-lint tests. Adding a new rule
+ can break some other tests. Update them if needed.
+- Run {command}`ansible-lint -L` and check that the rule description renders
+ correctly.
+- Build the docs using {command}`tox -e docs` and check that the new rule is
+ displayed correctly in them.
+
+[metatagvalidrule]:
+ https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/main/src/ansiblelint/rules/meta_no_tags.py
+
+## Documentation changes
+
+To build the docs, run `tox -e docs`. At the end of the build, you will see the
+local location of your built docs.
+
+Building docs locally may not be identical to CI/CD builds. We recommend you to
+create a draft PR and check the RTD PR preview page too.
+
+If you do not want to learn the reStructuredText format, you can also
+[file an issue](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/issues), and let us know
+how we can improve our documentation.

+
+## Rule definitions
+
+You define each custom rule in a unique Python class file. Default rules are
+named _DeprecatedVariableRule.py_, etc.
+
+Each rule should have a short description as a Python docstring wrapped in
+triple quotes `"""` immediately after the class name. The short description
+should be brief and meaningfully explain the purpose of the rule to users.
+
+Each rule definition should have the following parts:
+
+- `id` provides a unique identifier to the rule.
+- `description` explains what the rule checks for.
+- `tags` specifies one or more tags for including or excluding the rule.
+
+### Match and matchtask methods
+
+Each rule definition should also invoke one of the following methods:
+
+- `match` takes a line and returns:
+ - None or False if the line does not match the test.
+ - True or a custom message if the line does match the test. (This allows one
+ rule to test multiple behaviors - see e.g. the
+ _CommandsInsteadOfModulesRule_.)
+- `matchtask` operates on a single task or handler, such that tasks get
+ standardized to always contain a _module_ key and _module_arguments_ key.
+ Other common task modifiers, such as _when_, _with_items_, etc., are also
+ available as keys if present in the task.
+
+The following is an example rule that uses the `match` method:
+
+```python
+from ansiblelint.rules import AnsibleLintRule
+
+class DeprecatedVariableRule(AnsibleLintRule):
+ """Deprecated variable declarations."""
+
+ id = 'EXAMPLE002'
+ description = 'Check for lines that have old style ${var} ' + \
+ 'declarations'
+ tags = { 'deprecations' }
+
+ def match(self, line: str) -> Union[bool, str]:
+ return '${' in line
+```
+
+The following is an example rule that uses the `matchtask` method:
+
+```python
+from typing import TYPE_CHECKING, Any, Dict, Union
+
+import ansiblelint.utils
+from ansiblelint.rules import AnsibleLintRule
+
+if TYPE_CHECKING:
+ from ansiblelint.file_utils import Lintable
+ from ansiblelint.utils import Task
+
+class TaskHasTag(AnsibleLintRule):
+ """Tasks must have tag."""
+
+ id = 'EXAMPLE001'
+ description = 'Tasks must have tag'
+ tags = ['productivity']
+
+ def matchtask(self, task: Task, file: 'Lintable' | None = None) -> Union[bool,str]:
+ # If the task include another task or make the playbook fail
+ # Don't force to have a tag
+ if not set(task.keys()).isdisjoint(['include','fail']):
+ return False
+
+ # Task should have tags
+ if not task.has_key('tags'):
+ return True
+
+ return False
+```
+
+The task argument to `matchtask` contains a number of keys - the critical one is
+_action_. The value of `task['action']` contains the module being used, and the
+arguments passed, both as key-value pairs and a list of other arguments (e.g.
+the command used with shell).
+
+## Packaging custom rules
+
+Ansible-lint automatically loads and enables custom rules in Python packages
+from the _custom_ subdirectory. This subdirectory is part of the Ansible-lint
+installation directory, for example:
+
+`/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansiblelint/rules/custom/`
+
+To automatically load custom rules, do the following:
+
+1. Package your custom rules as a Python package with a descriptive name.
+
+2. Configure the \[options\] section of the `setup.cfg` of your custom rules
+ Python package as in the following example:
+
+ ```yaml
+ [options]
+ packages =
+ ansiblelint.rules.custom.<your_custom_rules_subdir>
+ package_dir =
+ ansiblelint.rules.custom.<your_custom_rules_subdir> = <your_rules_source_code_subdir>
+ ```
+
+3. Install the Python package into
+ `<ansible_lint_custom_rules_dir>/custom/<your_custom_rules_subdir>/`.

+# Ansible Lint Documentation
+
+## About Ansible Lint
+
+Ansible Lint is a command-line tool for linting **playbooks, roles and
+collections** aimed toward any Ansible users. Its main goal is to promote proven
+practices, patterns and behaviors while avoiding common pitfalls that can easily
+lead to bugs or make code harder to maintain.
+
+Ansible lint is also supposed to help users upgrade their code to work with
+newer versions of Ansible. Due to this reason we recommend using it with the
+newest version of Ansible, even if the version used in production may be older.
+
+As any other linter, it is opinionated. Still, its rules are the result of
+community contributions and they can always be disabled based individually or by
+category by each user.
+
+[Ansible Galaxy project](https://github.com/ansible/galaxy/) makes use of this
+linter to compute quality scores for [Galaxy Hub](https://galaxy.ansible.com/)
+contributed content. This does not mean this tool only targets those that want
+to share their code. Files like `galaxy.yml`, or sections like `galaxy_info`
+inside `meta.yml` help with documentation and maintenance, even for unpublished
+roles or collections.
+
+The project was originally started by
+[@willthames](https://github.com/willthames/) and has since been adopted by the
+Ansible Community team. Its development is purely community driven while keeping
+permanent communications with other Ansible teams.

+# Installing
+
+Install Ansible-lint to apply rules and follow best practices with your
+automation content.
+
+!!! note
+
+ Ansible-lint does not currently support installation on Windows systems.
+
+!!! warning
+
+ Ansible-lint does not support any installation methods that are not mentioned in
+ this document. Before raising any bugs related to installation, review all of
+ the following details:
+
+ - You should use installation methods outlined in this document only.
+ - You should upgrade the Python installer (`pip` or `pipx`) to the latest
+ version available from pypi.org. If you used a system package manager, you
+ will need to upgrade the installer to a newer version.
+ - If you are installing from a git zip archive, which is not supported but
+ should work, ensure you use the main branch and the latest version of pip and
+ setuptools.
+ - If you are installing Ansible-lint within a container or system package, you
+ should not report the issue here. Contact the relevant container or package
+ provider instead.
+ - If you are using [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/), read this
+ [discussion](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/discussions/2820#discussioncomment-4400380).
+
+ Pull requests to improve installation instructions are welcome. Any new issues
+ related to installation will be closed and locked.
+
+For a container image, we recommend using
+[creator-ee](https://github.com/ansible/creator-ee/), which includes
+Ansible-lint. If you have a use case that the `creator-ee` container doesn't
+satisfy, please contact the team through the
+[discussions](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/discussions) forum.
+
+You can also run Ansible-lint on your source code with the
+[Ansible-lint GitHub action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ansible-lint)
+instead of installing it directly.
+
+## Installing the latest version
+
+You can install the most recent version of Ansible-lint with the [pip3] or
+[pipx] Python package manager. Use [pipx] to isolate Ansible-lint from your
+current Python environment as an alternative to creating a virtual environment.
+
+```bash
+# This also installs ansible-core if it is not already installed
+pip3 install ansible-lint
+```
+
+## Installing on Fedora and RHEL
+
+You can install Ansible-lint on Fedora, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with
+the `dnf` package manager.
+
+```bash
+dnf install ansible-lint
+```
+
+!!! note
+
+ On RHEL, `ansible-lint` package is part of "Red Hat Ansible Automation
+ Platform" subscription, which needs to be activated.
+
+## Installing from source code
+
+**Note**: `pip>=22.3.1` is required for installation from the source repository.
+Please consult the [PyPA User Guide] to learn more about managing Pip versions.
+
+```bash
+pip3 install git+https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint
+```
+
+[installing_from_source]: https://pypi.org/project/pip/
+[pip3]: https://pypi.org/project/pip/
+[pipx]: https://pypa.github.io/pipx/
+[pypa user guide]:
+ https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#ensure-pip-setuptools-and-wheel-are-up-to-date
+
+## Installing Ansible Lint as a GitHub Action
+
+To use the action simply create a file `.github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml` with
+content similar to the example below:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml
+name: ansible-lint
+on:
+ pull_request:
+ branches: ["stable", "release/v*"]
+jobs:
+ build:
+ name: Ansible Lint # Naming the build is important to use it as a status check
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ steps:
+ - name: Run ansible-lint
+ uses: ansible/ansible-lint@v6
+```
+
+Due to limitations on how GitHub Actions are processing arguments, we do not
+plan to provide extra options. You will have to make use of
+[ansible-lint own configuration file](https://ansible-lint.readthedocs.io/configuring/)
+for altering its behavior.
+
+To also enable [dependabot][dependabot] automatic updates the newer versions of
+ansible-lint action you should create a file similar to
+[.github/dependabot.yml][.github/dependabot.yml]
+
+[dependabot]: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot
+[.github/dependabot.yml]:
+ https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml#L13-L19

+# Philosophy of ansible-lint
+
+Ansible **playbooks, roles, and collections** should read like documentation, be
+production ready, unambiguous, and provide consistent results.
+
+`Ansible-lint` should be considered a trusted advisor, helping ansible content
+creators write and package high-quality Ansible content. While not all rules may
+be applicable in all situations, they should be followed whenever possible.
+
+The goal of `ansible-lint` is to ensure that content created by different people
+has a similar look and feel. This makes the adoption and use of Ansible content
+easier in the community and enterprise. By keeping the number of configurable
+features at a minimum, consistent outcomes between authors can be achieved.
+
+## History and the future
+
+`ansible-lint` is almost a decade old, and its current list of rules is the
+result of a collaboration between many people. The tool originated as a
+community project and is currently part of the Ansible Galaxy submission and
+validation process.
+
+In the future, it will be an official component of the Red Hat Ansible
+Automation Platform, used during the collections certification process and the
+recommended Ansible content linter for Red Hat customers.
+
+Starting in 2022, additional rules will be added that help content creators
+ready their content for production use. It will be through the use of
+ansible-lint and these rules, developers can have confidence their playbooks,
+roles, and task files are easy to understand and produce consistent results when
+run against anything, from servers in a home lab to mission-critical systems in
+the cloud.
+
+## Style and formatting
+
+The focus of Ansible content creators should be on automation, outcomes and
+readability, rather than style or formatting. This is why we follow the same
+concepts as other code formatting tools like
+[black](https://github.com/psf/black) and [prettier](https://prettier.io/).
+
+Adoption of `ansible-lint` will save time by keeping reviews focused on the
+quality of the content and less so on the nuances of formatting and style.
+
+As code formatting is not an art, we can save your project time and effort by
+applying a standardized code style and formatting.
+
+## Q&A
+
+### Why does ansible-lint not accept all valid ansible syntax?
+
+`ansible-core` continues to mature while maintaining backward compatibility with
+early versions. `ansible-lint` has never intended to support the whole
+historical Ansible language syntax variations, but instead only the best of it.
+
+It supports a broad vocabulary of keywords and styles. Over time, changes in the
+language have led to an improved experience for authors and consumers of Ansible
+content. The rules in `ansible-lint` suggest the use of these patterns.
+
+It is these usage patterns that are written as rules in `ansible-lint`, leading
+to improved readability of **playbooks, roles**, and **collections**. The linter
+will always be more restrictive and opinionated regarding what it accepts. It is
+part of its design. We are not forced to keep the same backward compatibility
+level as Ansible, so we can tell people to avoid specific syntax for various
+reasons, such as being deprecated, unsafe, or hard to maintain.
+
+Based on the extensive history of `ansible-lint` and user feedback, it notifies
+you about discouraged practices, sometimes before `ansible-core` starts doing
+so.
+
+### What if I do not agree with a specific rule?
+
+We recognize that some projects will find at least one rule that might not suit
+their needs. Use the `skip_list` feature to temporarily bypass that rule until
+you have time to update your Ansible content.
+
+### Who decides which best practices get adopted in ansible-lint?
+
+The main source of new ideas was and remains our community. Before proposing a
+change, check with a few other Ansible users that work on different projects and
+see if they find it useful or not.
+
+It is better to get enough relevant feedback on our discussion forum before
+starting to implement new rules. If the proposed rule appears popular and does
+not conflict with existing rules, a core (maintainer) will tell you that the
+proposed rule can be added to ansible-lint, so you can start working on it
+without fear of rejection.
+
+The core team will decide on how a new rule will be added. Usually, they are
+added as experimental (warnings only) or even as opt-ins, being made implicit
+only when a major version is released.
+
+### Do I need to pass all rules to get my collection certified?
+
+Not really. The certification process is likely to use only a subset of rules.
+At this time, we are working on building that list.
+
+### Why lots of official Ansible docs examples are not passing linting?
+
+Most of the official examples are written to exemplify specific features, and
+some might conflict with our rules. Still, we plan to include linting of
+official examples in the future and add specific exclusions where needed, making
+it more likely that a copy/paste from the docs will not raise a bunch of linter
+violations.
+
+### Why does ansible-lint require an Ansible version newer than what I use in production?
+
+Use `ansible-lint` as a **static analysis** tool for your content. You can run
+it with a version of ansible that is different than what you use in production.
+This helps you prepare your content for the future, so don't be afraid of using
+it in such a way.

+
+Ansible-lint prints output on both `stdout` and `stderr`.
+
+- `stdout` displays rule violations.
+- `stderr` displays logging and free-form messages like statistics.
+
+Most `ansible-lint` examples use pep8 as the output format (`-p`) which is
+machine parseable.
+
+Ansible-lint also print errors using their [annotation] format when it detects
+the `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true` and `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=...` variables.
+

+
+## Caching
+
+For optimal performance, Ansible-lint creates caches with installed or mocked
+roles, collections, and modules in the `{project_dir}/.cache` folder. The
+location of `{project_dir}` is passed with a command line argument, determined
+by the location of the configuration file, git project top-level directory, or
+user home directory.
+
+To perform faster re-runs, Ansible-lint does not automatically clean the cache.
+If required you can do this manually by simply deleting the `.cache` folder.
+Ansible-lint creates a new cache on the next invocation.
+
+You should add the `.cache` folder to the `.gitignore` file in your git
+repositories.
+
+## Gradual adoption
+
+For an easier gradual adoption, adopters should consider [ignore
+file][configuring.md#ignoring-rules-for-entire-files] feature. This allows the
+quick introduction of a linter pipeline for preventing addition of new
+violations, while known violations are ignored. Some people can work on
+addressing these historical violations while others may continue to work on
+other maintenance tasks.
+
+The deprecated `--progressive` mode was removed in v6.16.0 as it added code
+complexity and performance overhead. It also presented several corner cases
+where it failed to work as expected and caused false negatives.
+
+## Linting playbooks and roles
+
+Ansible-lint recommends following the [collection structure layout] whether you
+plan to build a collection or not.
+
+Following that layout assures the best integration with all ecosystem tools
+because it helps those tools better distinguish between random YAML files and
+files managed by Ansible. When you call `ansible-lint` without arguments, it
+uses internal heuristics to determine file types.
+
+You can specify the list of **roles** or **playbooks** that you want to lint
+with the `-p` argument. For example, to lint `examples/playbooks/play.yml` and
+`examples/roles/bobbins`, use the following command:
+
+```console exec="1" source="console" returncode="2"
+$ ansible-lint --offline -p examples/playbooks/play.yml examples/roles/bobbins
+```
+
+[collection structure layout]:
+ https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections_structure.html#collection-structure
+
+## Running example playbooks
+
+Ansible-lint includes an `ansible-lint/examples` folder that contains example
+playbooks with different rule violations and undesirable characteristics. You
+can run `ansible-lint` on the example playbooks to observe Ansible-lint in
+action, as follows:
+
+```console exec="1" source="console" returncode="2"
+$ ansible-lint --offline -p examples/playbooks/example.yml
+```
+
+Ansible-lint also handles playbooks that include other playbooks, tasks,
+handlers, or roles, as the `examples/playbooks/include.yml` example
+demonstrates.
+
+```console exec="1" source="console" returncode="2"
+$ ansible-lint --offline -q -p examples/playbooks/include.yml
+```
+
+## Output formats
+
+### pep8
+
+```console exec="1" source="console" returncode="2"
+$ ansible-lint --offline -q -f pep8 examples/playbooks/norole.yml
+```
+
+### SARIF JSON
+
+Using `--format sarif` or `--format json` the linter will output on stdout a
+report in [SARIF]
+
+We also have an option `--sarif-file FILE` option that can make the linter dump
+the output to a file while not altering its normal stdout output. This can be
+used in CI/CD pipelines.
+
+```bash exec="1" source="tabbed-left" result="json" returncode="2"
+ansible-lint --offline -q -f sarif examples/playbooks/norole.yml
+```
+
+### Code Climate JSON
+
+You can generate `JSON` reports based on the [Code Climate] specification as the
+`examples/playbooks/norole.yml` example demonstrates.
+
+```bash exec="1" source="tabbed-left" result="json" returncode="2"
+ansible-lint --offline -q -f codeclimate examples/playbooks/norole.yml
+```
+
+Historically `-f json` was used to generate Code Climate JSON reports but in
+never versions we switched its meaning point SARIF JSON format instead.
+
+!!! warning
+
+ When possible we recommend using the [SARIF](#sarif-json) format instead of the Code Climate
+ as that one is more complete and has a full specification and also a JSON
+ validation schema. Code Climate format does not expose our severity
+ levels because we use that field to map warnings
+ as `minor` and errors as `major` issues.
+
+## Specifying rules at runtime
+
+By default, `ansible-lint` applies rules found in
+`ansible-lint/src/ansiblelint/rules`. Use the `-r /path/to/custom-rules` option
+to specify the directory path to a set of custom rules. For multiple custom rule
+sets, pass each set with a separate `-r` option.
+
+You can also combine the default rules with custom rules with the `-R` option
+along with one or more `-r` options.
+
+### Including rules with tags
+
+Each rule has an associated set of one or more tags. Use the `-T` option to view
+the list of tags for each available rule.
+
+You can then use the `-t` option to specify a tag and include the associated
+rules in the lint run. For example, the following `ansible-lint` command applies
+only the rules associated with the _idempotency_ tag:
+
+```console exec="1" source="console" returncode="0"
+$ ansible-lint -t idempotency playbook.yml
+```
+
+The following shows the available tags in an example set of rules and the rules
+associated with each tag:
+
+```bash exec="1" source="console"
+ansible-lint -T 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+### Excluding rules with tags
+
+To exclude rules by identifiers or tags, use the `-x SKIP_LIST` option. For
+example, the following command applies all rules except those with the
+_formatting_ and _metadata_ tags:
+
+```bash
+$ ansible-lint -x formatting,metadata playbook.yml
+```
+
+### Ignoring rules
+
+To only warn about rules, use the `-w WARN_LIST` option. For example, the
+following command displays only warns about violations with rules associated
+with the `experimental` tag:
+
+```console
+$ ansible-lint -w experimental playbook.yml
+```
+
+By default, the `WARN_LIST` includes the `['experimental']` tag. If you define a
+custom `WARN_LIST` you must add `'experimental'` so that Ansible-lint does not
+fail against experimental rules.
+
+## Muting warnings to avoid false positives
+
+Not all linting rules are precise, some are general rules of thumb. Advanced
+_git_, _yum_ or _apt_ usage, for example, can be difficult to achieve in a
+playbook. In cases like this, Ansible-lint can incorrectly trigger rule
+violations.
+
+To disable rule violations for specific tasks, and mute false positives, add
+`# noqa: [rule_id]` to the end of the line. It is best practice to add a comment
+that explains why rules are disabled.
+
+You can add the `# noqa: [rule_id]` comment to the end of any line in a task.
+You can also skip multiple rules with a space-separated list.
+
+```yaml
+- name: This task would typically fire git-latest and partial-become rules
+ become_user: alice # noqa: git-latest partial-become
+ ansible.builtin.git: src=/path/to/git/repo dest=checkout
+```
+
+If the rule is line-based, `# noqa: [rule_id]` must be at the end of the line.
+
+```yaml
+- name: This would typically fire jinja[spacing]
+ get_url:
+ url: http://example.com/file.conf
+ dest: "{{dest_proj_path}}/foo.conf" # noqa: jinja[spacing]
+```
+
+If you want Ansible-lint to skip a rule entirely, use the `-x` command line
+argument or add it to `skip_list` in your configuration.
+
+The least preferred method of skipping rules is to skip all task-based rules for
+a task, which does not skip line-based rules. You can use the
+`skip_ansible_lint` tag with all tasks or the `warn` parameter with the
+_command_ or _shell_ modules, for example:
+
+```yaml
+- name: This would typically fire no-free-form
+ command: warn=no chmod 644 X
+
+- name: This would typically fire command-instead-of-module
+ command: git pull --rebase
+ args:
+ warn: false
+
+- name: This would typically fire git-latest
+ git: src=/path/to/git/repo dest=checkout
+ tags:
+ - skip_ansible_lint
+```
+
+## Applying profiles
+
+Ansible-lint profiles allow content creators to progressively improve the
+quality of Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections.
+
+During early development cycles, you need Ansible-lint rules to be less strict.
+Starting with the minimal profile ensures that Ansible can load your content. As
+you move to the next stage of developing content, you can gradually apply
+profiles to avoid common pitfalls and brittle complexity. Then, when you are
+ready to publish or share your content, you can use the `shared` and
+`production` profiles with much stricter rules. These profiles harden security,
+guarantee reliability, and ensure your Ansible content is easy for others to
+contribute to and use.
+
+!!! note
+
+ Tags such as `opt-in` and `experimental` do not take effect for rules that are included in profiles, directly or indirectly.
+ If a rule is in a profile, Ansible-lint applies that rule to the content.
+
+After you install and configure `ansible-lint`, you can apply profiles as
+follows:
+
+1. View available profiles with the `--list-profiles` flag.
+
+ ```bash
+ ansible-lint --list-profiles
+ ```
+
+2. Specify a profile with the `--profile` parameter to lint your content with
+ those rules, for example:
+
+- Enforce standard styles and formatting with the `basic` profile.
+
+ ```bash
+ ansible-lint --profile=basic
+ ```
+
+- Ensure automation consistency, reliability, and security with the `safety`
+ profile.
+
+ ```bash
+ ansible-lint --profile=safety
+ ```
+
+## Vaults
+
+As ansible-lint executes ansible, it also needs access to encrypted secrets. If
+you do not give access to them or you are concerned about security implications,
+you should consider refactoring your code to allow it to be linted without
+access to real secrets:
+
+- Configure dummy fallback values that are used during linting, so Ansible will
+ not complain about undefined variables.
+- Exclude the problematic files from the linting process.
+
+```yaml
+---
+# Example of avoiding undefined variable error
+foo: "{{ undefined_variable_name | default('dummy') }}"
+```
+
+Keep in mind that a well-written playbook or role should allow Ansible's syntax
+check from passing on it, even if you do not have access to the vault.
+
+Internally ansible-lint runs `ansible-playbook --syntax-check` on each playbook
+and also on roles. As ansible-code does not support running syntax-check
+directly on roles, the linter will create temporary playbooks that only include
+each role from your project. You will need to change the code of the role in a
+way that it does not produce syntax errors when called without any variables or
+arguments. This usually involves making use of `defaults/` but be sure that you
+fully understand [variable precedence].
