history

Project history and usage

yh is a small Go command-line YAML highlighter aimed at colorizing YAML streams, especially kubectl output.

Project history

The README gives a precise origin story: the author wanted color while working with Kubernetes YAML output, did not find a simple dump-and-highlight tool, and wrote one from scratch after recent Go training. The repository was created in April 2020 and published a quick run of 0.x releases through October 2020.

Adoption history

yh's adoption is narrow but clear: it targets Kubernetes users who pipe kubectl get ... -o yaml into a jq-like highlighter. The README documents brew install yh and downloadable release binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

How it is used

The canonical usage is kubectl get pod alpine -o yaml | yh. The binary also exposes help and version subcommands.

Why package nerds care

yh is an example of a packageable single-purpose CLI: one binary, stdin-to-stdout behavior, no configuration, and a memorable niche adjacent to jq and kubectl.
