About:
Yh is a command-line utility that converts YAML input into syntax-highlighted output for the terminal. It provides a more readable and visually structured alternative to raw text or JSON output from tools like jq. This makes parsing complex YAML configurations and data streams significantly faster and more intuitive for developers.
Key Features:
  • Converts YAML to colorized terminal output
  • Preserves YAML structure for easy readability
  • Lightweight and fast command-line tool
  • Simple alternative to jq for YAML files
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts
  • Reading configuration files in CI/CD pipelines
  • Debugging YAML data output from scripts
Alternatives:
  • yq – yq can query and modify YAML, while yh is focused solely on syntax highlighting.
  • jq – jq is for JSON processing; yh is its direct counterpart for the YAML format.
