+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+ advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+ address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+ professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at mikefarah@gmail.com. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.

+1. Run  `scripts/devtools.sh` to install the required devtools
+2. Run `make [local] vendor` to install the vendor dependencies
+2. Run `make [local] test` to ensure you can run the existing tests
+3. Write unit tests - (see existing examples). Changes will not be accepted without corresponding unit tests.
+4. Make the code changes.
+5. `make [local] test` to lint code and run tests
+6. Profit! ok no profit, but raise a PR and get kudos :)

+
+# Documentation
+
+The documentation is a bit of a mixed bag (sorry in advance, I do plan on simplifying it...) - with some parts automatically generated and stiched together and some statically defined.
+
+Documentation is written in markdown, and is published in the 'gitbook' branch.
+
+The various operator documentation (e.g. 'strings') are generated from the 'master' branch, and have a statically defined header (e.g. `pkg/yqlib/doc/operators/headers/add.md`) and the bulk of the docs are generated from the unit tests e.g. `pkg/yqlib/operator_add_test.go`.
+
+The pipeline will run the tests and automatically concatenate the files together, and put them under 
+`pkg/qylib/doc/add.md`. These files are checked in the master branch (and are copied to the gitbook branch as part of the release process).
+
+## How to contribute
+
+The first step is to find if what you want is automatically generated or not - start by looking in the master branch. 
+
+Note that PRs with small changes (e.g. minor typos) may not be merged (see https://joel.net/how-one-guy-ruined-hacktoberfest2020-drama).
+
+### Updating dynamic documentation from master
+- Search for the documentation you want to update. If you find matches in a `*_test.go` file - update that, as that will automatically update the matching `*.md` file 
+- Assuming you are updating a `*_test.go` file, once updated, run the test to regenerated the docs. E.g. for the 'Add' test generated docs, from the pkg/yqlib folder run:
+`go test -run TestAddOperatorScenarios` which will run that test defined in the `operator_add_test.go` file.
+- Ensure the tests still pass, and check the generated documentation have your update.
+- Note: If the documentation is only in a `headers/*.md` file, then just update that directly
+- Raise a PR to merge the changes into master!
+
+### Updating static documentation from the gitbook branch
+If you haven't found what you want to update in the master branch, then check the gitbook branch directly as there are a few pages in there that are not in master.
+
+- Update the `*.md` files
+- Raise a PR to merge the changes into gitbook.

-a lightweight and portable command-line YAML processor
+a lightweight and portable command-line YAML, JSON, INI and XML processor. `yq` uses [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) like syntax but works with yaml files as well as json, xml, ini, properties, csv and tsv. It doesn't yet support everything `jq` does - but it does support the most common operations and functions, and more is being added continuously.
 
-The aim of the project is to be the [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) or sed of yaml files.
+yq is written in go - so you can download a dependency free binary for your platform and you are good to go! If you prefer there are a variety of package managers that can be used as well as Docker and Podman, all listed below.
 
-## New version!
-V3 is officially out - if you've been using v2 and want/need to upgrade, checkout the [upgrade guide](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/upgrading-from-v2).
+## Quick Usage Guide
+
+Read a value:
+```bash
+yq '.a.b[0].c' file.yaml
+```
+
+Pipe from STDIN:
+```bash
+yq '.a.b[0].c' < file.yaml
+```
+
+Update a yaml file, in place
+```bash
+yq -i '.a.b[0].c = "cool"' file.yaml
+```
+
+Update using environment variables
+```bash
+NAME=mike yq -i '.a.b[0].c = strenv(NAME)' file.yaml
+```
+
+Merge multiple files
+```bash
+# merge two files
+yq -n 'load("file1.yaml") * load("file2.yaml")'
+
+# merge using globs:
+# note the use of `ea` to evaluate all the files at once
+# instead of in sequence
+yq ea '. as $item ireduce ({}; . * $item )' path/to/*.yml
+```
+
+Multiple updates to a yaml file
+```bash
+yq -i '
+  .a.b[0].c = "cool" |
+  .x.y.z = "foobar" |
+  .person.name = strenv(NAME)
+' file.yaml
+```
+
+Find and update an item in an array:
+```bash
+yq '(.[] | select(.name == "foo") | .address) = "12 cat st"'
+```
+
+Convert JSON to YAML
+```bash
+yq -Poy sample.json
+```
+
+See [recipes](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/recipes) for more examples and the [documentation](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/) for more information.

+`yq` installs with [_strict confinement_](https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-confinement/6233) in snap, this means it doesn't have direct access to root files. To read root files you can:
 
 ```
-sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - a.path
+sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq '.a.path'

 And to write to a root file you can either use [sponge](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sponge):
 ```
-sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
+sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq '.a.path = "value"' | sudo sponge /etc/myfile

 ```
 
-### On Ubuntu 16.04 or higher from Debian package:
-```
-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rmescandon/yq
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install yq -y
-```
-### or, [Download latest binary](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/latest) or alternatively:
-```

-## Run with Docker
-
-Oneshot use:
+### Run with Docker or Podman
+#### Oneshot use:
 
 ```bash
-docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq [flags] <command> FILE...
+docker run --rm -v "${PWD}":/workdir mikefarah/yq [command] [flags] [expression ]FILE...
 ```
 
-Run commands interactively:
+Note that you can run `yq` in docker without network access and other privileges if you desire,
+namely `--security-opt=no-new-privileges --cap-drop all --network none`.
 
 ```bash
-docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq sh
+podman run --rm -v "${PWD}":/workdir mikefarah/yq [command] [flags] [expression ]FILE...
+```
+
+#### Pipe in via STDIN:
+
+You'll need to pass the `-i\--interactive` flag to docker:
+
+```bash
+docker run -i --rm mikefarah/yq '.this.thing' < myfile.yml
+```
+
+```bash
+podman run -i --rm mikefarah/yq '.this.thing' < myfile.yml
+```
+
+#### Run commands interactively:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it -v "${PWD}":/workdir --entrypoint sh mikefarah/yq
+```
+
+```bash
+podman run --rm -it -v "${PWD}":/workdir --entrypoint sh mikefarah/yq
 ```
 
 It can be useful to have a bash function to avoid typing the whole docker command:
 
 ```bash
 yq() {
-  docker run --rm -i -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq $@
+  docker run --rm -i -v "${PWD}":/workdir mikefarah/yq "$@"
 }
 ```
 
+```bash
+yq() {
+  podman run --rm -i -v "${PWD}":/workdir mikefarah/yq "$@"
+}
+```
+#### Running as root:
+
+`yq`'s container image no longer runs under root (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/pull/860). If you'd like to install more things in the container image, or you're having permissions issues when attempting to read/write files you'll need to either:
+
+
+```
+docker run --user="root" -it --entrypoint sh mikefarah/yq
+```
+
+```
+podman run --user="root" -it --entrypoint sh mikefarah/yq
+```
+
+Or, in your Dockerfile:
+
+```
+FROM mikefarah/yq
+
+USER root
+RUN apk add --no-cache bash
+USER yq
+```
+
+#### Missing timezone data
+By default, the alpine image yq uses does not include timezone data. If you'd like to use the `tz` operator, you'll need to include this data:
+
+```
+FROM mikefarah/yq
+
+USER root
+RUN apk add --no-cache tzdata
+USER yq
+```
+
+#### Podman with SELinux
+
+If you are using podman with SELinux, you will need to set the shared volume flag `:z` on the volume mount:
+
+```
+-v "${PWD}":/workdir:z
+```
+
+### GitHub Action
+```
+  - name: Set foobar to cool
+    uses: mikefarah/yq@master
+    with:
+      cmd: yq -i '.foo.bar = "cool"' 'config.yml'
+  - name: Get an entry with a variable that might contain dots or spaces
+    id: get_username

+## Known Issues / Missing Features
+- `yq` attempts to preserve comment positions and whitespace as much as possible, but it does not handle all scenarios (see https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/tree/v3 for details)
+- Powershell has its own...[opinions on quoting yq](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/usage/tips-and-tricks#quotes-in-windows-powershell)
+- "yes", "no" were dropped as boolean values in the yaml 1.2 standard - which is the standard yq assumes.

Upgrade Notes

@@ -1,74 +0,0 @@
-
-Major release! Upgraded underlying yaml parser, re-written majority of yq. This has brought on a number of features that have been in demand for a while (see below).
-
-This is in beta and needs some community feedback and testing :)
-
-# New Features
-  - Keeps yaml comments and formatting, can specify yaml tags when updating. https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/19, https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/169, https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/107, https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/171, https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/245, https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/303,https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/308,https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/314
-  - Handles anchors!  https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/310, https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/178
-  - Can print out matching paths and values when splatting https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/20
-  - JSON output works for all commands! Yaml files with multiple documents are printed out as one JSON document per line. 
-  - Deep splat (**) to match arbitrary paths
-
-
-# Breaking changes
-
-## Update scripts file format has changed to be more powerful. 
-Comments can be added, and delete commands have been introduced.
-
-Before:
-```yaml
-b.e[+].name: Mike Farah
-```
-
-After:
-```yaml
-- command: update 
-  path: b.e[+].thing
-  value:
-    #great 
-    things: frog # wow!
-- command: delete
-  path: b.d
-```
-
-https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/305
-
-## Reading and splatting, matching results are printed once per line.
-  e.g:
-
-```json
-parent:
-  childA: 
-    no: matches here
-  childB:
-    there: matches
-    hi: no match
-    there2: also matches
-```
-
-```bash
-yq r sample.yaml 'parent.*.there*'
-```
-
-old
-```yaml
-- null
-- - matches
-  - also matches
-```
-
-new
-```yaml
-matches
-also matches
-```
-
-and you can print the matching paths:
-
-yq r --printMode pv sample.yaml 'parent.*.there*'
-
-```yaml
-parent.childB.there: matches
-parent.childB.there2: also matches
-```
