-# yaml
+# yq
-yaml command line tool written in go
 
-Allows you to read (and soon update) yaml files given a yaml path. All in a lovely dependency free binary!
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mikefarah/yq.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mikefarah/yq)  ![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/mikefarah/yq.svg) ![Github Releases (by Release)](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/mikefarah/yq/total.svg) ![Go Report](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/mikefarah/yq)
 
-[Download latest release](https://github.com/mikefarah/yaml/releases/latest)
 
-or alternatively install using go get:
+a lightweight and portable command-line YAML processor
+
+The aim of the project is to be the [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) or sed of yaml files.
+
+## Install
+### On MacOS:
 ```
-go get github.com/mikefarah/yaml
+brew install yq
+```
+### On Ubuntu and other Linux distros supporting `snap` packages:
+```
+snap install yq
 ```
 
-## Read examples
+#### Snap notes
+`yq` installs with 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:
+
 ```
-yaml <yaml file> <path>
+sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq -r - somecommand
 ```
 
-### Basic
+And to write to a root file you can either use [sponge](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sponge):
-Given a sample.yaml file of:
-```yaml
-b:
-  c: 2
 ```
-then
+sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq -r - somecommand | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
+```
+or write to a temporary file:
+```
+sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq -r - somecommand | sudo tee /etc/myfile.tmp
+sudo mv /etc/myfile.tmp /etc/myfile
+rm /etc/myfile.tmp
+```
+
+### 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:
+```
+GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/mikefarah/yq@2.4.1
+```
+
+## Run with Docker
+
+Oneshot use:
+
 ```bash
-yaml sample.yaml b.c
+docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq [flags] <command> FILE...
 ```
-will output the value of '2'.
 
-### Handling '.' in the yaml key
+Run commands interactively:
-Given a sample.yaml file of:
+
-```yaml
-b.x:
-  c: 2
-```
-then
 ```bash
-yaml sample.yaml \"b.x\".c
+docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq sh
 ```
-will output the value of '2'.
 
-### Arrays
+It can be useful to have a bash function to avoid typing the whole docker command:
-You can give an index to access a specific element:
-e.g.: given a sample file of
-```yaml
-b:
-  e:
-    - name: fred
-      value: 3
-    - name: sam
-      value: 4
-```
-then
-```
-yaml sample.yaml b.e[1].name
-```
-will output 'sam'
 
-### Updating yaml
-Given a sample.yaml file of:
-```yaml
-b:
-  c: 2
-```
-then
 ```bash
-yaml w sample.yaml b.c 'cat'
+yq() {
+  docker run --rm -i -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq $@
+}
 ```
-will output:
+
-```yaml
+## Features

+
+## [Usage](http://mikefarah.github.io/yq/)
+
+Check out the [documentation](http://mikefarah.github.io/yq/) for more detailed and advanced usage.
+
 ```
+yq is a lightweight and portable command-line YAML processor. It aims to be the jq or sed of yaml files.
+
+Usage:
+  yq [flags]

+
+Available Commands:
+  delete      yq d [--inplace/-i] [--doc/-d index] sample.yaml a.b.c
+  help        Help about any command
+  merge       yq m [--inplace/-i] [--doc/-d index] [--overwrite/-x] [--append/-a] sample.yaml sample2.yaml
+  new         yq n [--script/-s script_file] a.b.c newValue
+  prefix      yq p [--inplace/-i] [--doc/-d index] sample.yaml a.b.c
+  read        yq r [--doc/-d index] sample.yaml a.b.c
+  write       yq w [--inplace/-i] [--script/-s script_file] [--doc/-d index] sample.yaml a.b.c newValue
+
+Flags:
+  -h, --help      help for yq
+  -t, --trim      trim yaml output (default true)
+  -v, --verbose   verbose mode

+<p>To convert output to json, use the --tojson (or -j) flag. This can only be used with the read command.</p>
+<p>Given a sample.yaml file of:</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b:
+  c: 2
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>then</p>
+<pre><code class="bash">yq r -j sample.yaml b.c
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>will output</p>
+<pre><code class="json">{&quot;b&quot;:{&quot;c&quot;:2}}
+</code></pre>
+
+<h3 id="json-to-yaml">Json to Yaml<a class="headerlink" href="#json-to-yaml" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>To read in json, just pass in a json file instead of yaml, it will just work :)</p>
+<p>e.g given a json file</p>
+<pre><code class="json">{&quot;a&quot;:&quot;Easy! as one two three&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:{&quot;c&quot;:2,&quot;d&quot;:[3,4]}}

+                
+                <p>Yaml files can be created using the 'new' command. This works in the same way as the write command, but you don't pass in an existing Yaml file. Currently this does not support creating multiple documents in a single yaml file.</p>
+<pre><code>yq n &lt;path&gt; &lt;new value&gt;
+</code></pre>
+
+<h3 id="creating-a-simple-yaml-file">Creating a simple yaml file<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-simple-yaml-file" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<pre><code class="bash">yq n b.c cat
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>will output:</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b:
+  c: cat
+</code></pre>
+
+<h3 id="creating-using-a-create-script">Creating using a create script<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-using-a-create-script" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>Create scripts follow the same format as the update scripts.</p>
+<p>Given a script create_instructions.yaml of:</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b.c: 3
+b.e[+].name: Howdy Partner
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>then</p>
+<pre><code class="bash">yq n -s create_instructions.yaml
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>will output:</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b:
+  c: 3
+  e:
+    - name: Howdy Partner
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>You can also pipe the instructions in:</p>
+<pre><code class="bash">cat create_instructions.yaml | yq n -s -
+</code></pre>
+
+<h3 id="keys-with-dots">Keys with dots<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-with-dots" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b:
+  foo.bar: 7
+</code></pre>
+
+<pre><code class="bash">yaml r sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]'
+</code></pre>
+
+<pre><code class="bash">yaml w sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]' 9
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Any valid yaml key can be specified as part of a key lookup.</p>
+<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
+<h3 id="keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes">Keys (and values) with leading dashes<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>If a key or value has leading dashes, yq won't know that you are passing a value as opposed to a flag (and you will get a 'bad flag syntax' error).</p>
+<p>To fix that, you will need to tell it to stop processing flags by adding '--' after the last flag like so:</p>
+<pre><code class="bash">yq n -t -- --key --value
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Will result in</p>
+<p><code>`
+--key: --value</code></p>

+<p>You can give an index to access a specific element:

+
+<p>will output 'sam'</p>
+<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
+<h3 id="array-splat">Array Splat<a class="headerlink" href="#array-splat" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>e.g.: given a sample file of</p>

+    - name: fred
+      value: 3
+    - name: sam
+      value: 4

+
+<p>then</p>
+<pre><code>yq r sample.yaml 'b.e[*].name'

+
+<p>will output:</p>
+<pre><code>- fred
+- sam

+<h3 id="keys-with-dots">Keys with dots<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-with-dots" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b:
+  foo.bar: 7
+</code></pre>
+
+<pre><code class="bash">yaml r sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]'
+</code></pre>
+
+<pre><code class="bash">yaml w sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]' 9
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Any valid yaml key can be specified as part of a key lookup.</p>
+<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
+<h3 id="keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes">Keys (and values) with leading dashes<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>If a key or value has leading dashes, yq won't know that you are passing a value as opposed to a flag (and you will get a 'bad flag syntax' error).</p>
+<p>To fix that, you will need to tell it to stop processing flags by adding '--' after the last flag like so:</p>
+<pre><code class="bash">yq n -t -- --key --value
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Will result in</p>
+<p><code>`
+--key: --value</code></p>

+<p>When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.</p>
+<pre><code class="yaml">b:
+  foo.bar: 7
+</code></pre>
+
+<pre><code class="bash">yaml r sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]'
+</code></pre>
+
+<pre><code class="bash">yaml w sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]' 9
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Any valid yaml key can be specified as part of a key lookup.</p>
+<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
+<h3 id="keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes">Keys (and values) with leading dashes<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
+<p>If a key or value has leading dashes, yq won't know that you are passing a value as opposed to a flag (and you will get a 'bad flag syntax' error).</p>
+<p>To fix that, you will need to tell it to stop processing flags by adding '--' after the last flag like so:</p>
+<pre><code class="bash">yq n -t -- --key --value
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Will result in</p>
+<pre><code>--key: --value

+### Yaml to Json
+To convert output to json, use the --tojson (or -j) flag. This can only be used with the read command.
+
+Given a sample.yaml file of:
+```yaml
+b:
+  c: 2
+```
+then
+```bash
+yq r -j sample.yaml b.c
+```
+
+will output
+```json
+{"b":{"c":2}}
+```
+
+### Json to Yaml
+To read in json, just pass in a json file instead of yaml, it will just work :)
+
+e.g given a json file
+
+```json
+{"a":"Easy! as one two three","b":{"c":2,"d":[3,4]}}
+```
+then
+```bash
+yq r sample.json
+```
+will output
+```yaml
+a: Easy! as one two three
+b:
+  c: 2
+  d:

+  - 4

+Yaml files can be created using the 'new' command. This works in the same way as the write command, but you don't pass in an existing Yaml file. Currently this does not support creating multiple documents in a single yaml file.
+
+```
+yq n <path> <new value>
+```
+
+### Creating a simple yaml file
+```bash
+yq n b.c cat
+```
+will output:
+```yaml
+b:
+  c: cat
+```
+
+### Creating using a create script
+Create scripts follow the same format as the update scripts.
+
+Given a script create_instructions.yaml of:
+```yaml
+b.c: 3
+b.e[+].name: Howdy Partner
+```
+then
+
+```bash
+yq n -s create_instructions.yaml
+```
+will output:
+```yaml
+b:
+  c: 3
+  e:
+    - name: Howdy Partner
+```
+
+You can also pipe the instructions in:
+
+```bash
+cat create_instructions.yaml | yq n -s -
+```

+```
+
+
+### To Stdout
+Given a data1.yaml file of:
+```yaml
+a: simple
+b: [1, 2]
+```
+and data2.yaml file of:
+```yaml
+a: other
+c:

+then
+```bash
+yq m -i data1.yaml data2.yaml
+```
+will update the data1.yaml file so that the value of 'c' is 'test: 1'.
+
+### Overwrite values
+Given a data1.yaml file of:

+will output:
+```yaml
+a: simple
+b: [3, 4]
+c:
+  test: 2
+  other: true
+d: false
+```
+
+Notice that 'b' does not result in the merging of the values within an array. 
+
+### Append values with arrays
+Given a data1.yaml file of:
+```yaml
+a: simple
+b: [1, 2]
+d: hi
+```
+and data3.yaml file of:
+```yaml

+```yaml
+a: simple
+b: [1, 2, 3, 4]
+c:
+  test: 2
+  other: true
+d: hi
+```
+
+Note that the 'b' array has concatenated the values from the second data file. Also note that other map keys are not overridden (field a).
+
+Append cannot be used with overwrite, if both flags are given then append is ignored.
+
+### Multiple Documents - merge into single document
+Currently yq only has multi-document support for the _first_ document being merged into. The remaining yaml files will have their first document selected.
