YAML anchors let you copy and reuse parts of your configuration file, making it easier to manage. Here’s how it works:
base: &base
tag: same tag
child:
<<: *base
another key: 10
In this example, the base section is defined with an anchor (&base
).
The child
section uses <<: *base
to copy everything from base
into child
,
and then you can add more properties like another key
.
This way, you don’t have to repeat the same information in multiple places.
