A simple opionated yaml formatter that keeps your comments!

yamlfmt is just a cli wrapper around the ruamel.yaml python library, which happens to have the unique quality of keeping comments.

Note: The formatting used is subject to change without notice. Once a format seems to stick v1.0 will be tagged and the format will not change.

 yamlfmt -h
usage: yamlfmt [-h] [-w] [file [file ...]]

positional arguments:
  file         file to parse

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -w, --write  write formatted outpout to (source) file instead of stdout

Examples

Lets see yamlfmt in action:
