YAMLfmt for Visual Studio Code

YAMLfmt is a compact, efficient, and comment-preserving YAML formatter built on top of kubernetes-sigs/yaml and go-yaml — the same core code used by kubectl.

Why that matters

1. It ensures consistency with manifests generated by many popular tools: kubectl, kustomize, helm, etc.
2. It eliminates code churn with competing formatters/styles.

But I write YAML for humans, not machines!

Absolutely! That's why YAMLfmt preserves comments, allowing you to communicate and collaborate using meaningful words 😍.
