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
