Short: "yq w [--inplace/-i] [--script/-s script_file] [--doc/-d index] sample.yaml 'b.e(name==fr*).value' newValue",
Example: `
yq write things.yaml 'a.b.c' true
yq write things.yaml 'a.*.c' true
yq write things.yaml 'a.**' true
yq write things.yaml 'a.(child.subchild==co*).c' true
yq write things.yaml 'a.b.c' --tag '!!str' true # force 'true' to be interpreted as a string instead of bool
yq write things.yaml 'a.b.c' --tag '!!float' 3
yq write --inplace -- things.yaml 'a.b.c' '--cat' # need to use '--' to stop processing arguments as flags
yq w -i things.yaml 'a.b.c' cat
yq w -i -s update_script.yaml things.yaml
yq w things.yaml 'a.b.d[+]' foo # appends a new node to the 'd' array
yq w --doc 2 things.yaml 'a.b.d[+]' foo # updates the 3rd document of the yaml file
`,
Long: `Updates the yaml file w.r.t the given path and value.
Outputs to STDOUT unless the inplace flag is used, in which case the file is updated instead.
Append value to array adds the value to the end of array.
Update Scripts:
Note that you can give an update script to perform more sophisticated update. Update script
format is list of update commands (update or delete) like so:
---
- command: update
path: b.c
value:
#great
things: frog # wow!
- command: delete
path: b.d
