yq: a lightweight and portable command-line YAML processor
---

### Files

~/.config/envman/PATH.env
~/.local/bin/yq
~/.local/share/man/man1/yq.1
```
## Cheat Sheet
> `yq` is like [`jq`](../jq), meaning that it's like `sed` for YAML data - you
> can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the
> same ease that `sed`, `awk`, `grep` and friends let you play with text.
Usage: `yq e '<selector>' <filepath>`
Works with YAML:
```sh
echo 'name: John' | yq e '.name' -
```
Works with JSON:
```sh
echo '[ { "name": "John" }, { "name": "Jane" } ]' | yq e '.[].name' -
```
