yq

Utility that wraps jq. All it does is decode yaml and passes it along to jq.

Note: These packages do not force you to have jq (at least not yet)

Bigger Note: So far this is just a hacky script. Expect issues.

Build .rpm

python setup.py bdist_rpm

Test .rpm

cd dist
rpm -ivh yq<version>.noarch.rpm

Install with pip (why not?)

pip install git+git://github.com/kyle-long/yq.git@master

Usage

Should be the same as jq. Here are some examples.

# pretty print as yaml
cat test.yaml | yq -r .

# pretty print as yaml again
yq -r . test.yaml

# select just the property `blah`
yq -r .blah test.yaml

This will output YAML. If you'd like JSON returned you can provide the -j or --json options.

yq -j -r . test.yaml
