# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
a lightweight and portable command-line YAML processor. `yq` uses [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) like syntax but works with yaml files as well as json. It doesn't yet support everything `jq` does - but it does support the most common operations and functions, and more is being added continuously.

# QUICK GUIDE
|
|
|
|
## Read a value:
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq e '.a.b[0].c' file.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pipe from STDIN:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat file.yaml | yq e '.a.b[0].c' -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Update a yaml file, inplace
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq e -i '.a.b[0].c = "cool"' file.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Update using environment variables
|
|
```bash
|
|
NAME=mike yq e -i '.a.b[0].c = strenv(NAME)' file.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Merge multiple files
|
|
```
|
|
yq ea '. as $item ireduce ({}; . * $item )' path/to/*.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Multiple updates to a yaml file
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq e -i '
|
|
.a.b[0].c = "cool" |
|
|
.x.y.z = "foobar" |
|
|
.person.name = strenv(NAME)
|
|
' file.yaml
|
|
```

# 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)
