Useful notes about using yq

  1. Display the path to each value in a YAML file

    $ cat << EOF | yq e '.. | select(. == "*") | {(path | join(".")): .} ' -
    > a:
    >   b: foo
    >   c: bar
    > EOF
    a.b: foo
    a.c: bar

    Explanation…

    • .. recursively select all values
    • select(. == "*") filter for scalar values (i.e. filter out the value of a)
    • (path | join(".")) gets the path as array and joins the elements with .
    • {…: .} create a mapping, having the joined paths as keys and their values as values
