yamllint
========

A linter for YAML files.

yamllint does not only check for syntax validity, but for weirdnesses like key
repetition and cosmetic problems such as lines length, trailing spaces,
indentation, etc.

Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Using pip, the Python package manager:

.. code:: bash

 pip install --user yamllint

yamllint is also packaged for all major operating systems, see installation
examples (``dnf``, ``apt-get``...) `in the documentation
<https://yamllint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html>`_.

Usage
^^^^^

.. code:: bash

 # Lint one or more files
 yamllint my_file.yml my_other_file.yaml ...

.. code:: bash

 # Recursively lint all YAML files in a directory
 yamllint .

.. code:: bash

 # Use a pre-defined lint configuration
 yamllint -d relaxed file.yaml

 # Use a custom lint configuration
 yamllint -c /path/to/myconfig file-to-lint.yaml

.. code:: bash

 # Output a parsable format (for syntax checking in editors like Vim, emacs...)
 yamllint -f parsable file.yaml

Features
^^^^^^^^

Here is a yamllint configuration file example:

.. code:: yaml

 extends: default

 rules:
   # 80 chars should be enough, but don't fail if a line is longer
   line-length:
     max: 80
     level: warning

   # don't bother me with this rule
   indentation: disable

Within a YAML file, special comments can be used to disable checks for a single
line:

.. code:: yaml

 This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long  # yamllint disable-line

or for a whole block:

.. code:: yaml

 # yamllint disable rule:colons
 - Lorem       : ipsum
   dolor       : sit amet,
   consectetur : adipiscing elit
 # yamllint enable

Specific files can be ignored (totally or for some rules only) using a
``.gitignore``-style pattern:

.. code:: yaml

 # For all rules
 ignore: |
   *.dont-lint-me.yaml
   /bin/
   !/bin/*.lint-me-anyway.yaml

 rules:
   key-duplicates:
     ignore: |
       generated
       *.template.yaml
   trailing-spaces:
     ignore: |
       *.ignore-trailing-spaces.yaml
       /ascii-art/*
