It’s also an old post on here

Renaming a role

We have a bunch of roles called foo-abc-123 that we would like to rename bar-abc-123. I’ve done several naive searches like on how to rename or change role names without finding anything. Obviously for local purposes I can do git mv && unload-new-name, but that would leave all of the nodes with $OLD_NAME in a lurch. Ideally I’d like to find some sort of integrated rename mechanism. Lacking that I think my question becomes: How do I change the run lists of all nodes with role[foo] to role…

From the looks of it the scripts on mobile look similar maybe identical.
