I'd like to output a yaml structure to 1 single line

[maxrem]

I'd like to go from

values:
    first:
        title: "Some title"
        order_by: date
    second:
        title: "Another title"
        order_by: rating

to

values: {first: {title: "Some title", order_by: date}, second: {title: "Another title", order_by: rating}}

I've tried yq -I=0 input.yaml but that doesn't seem to do anything. Is this possible any other way?

Force the output to JSON then compact it

yq -oj -I 0 file.yaml

so -o is j = output format JSON

We cannot have compact output with YAML
