Update values in an existing YAML or JSON File. Push this updated File to an existing branch or create a new branch. Open a PullRequest to a configurable targetBranch. It is also posible to change the file locally without commiting the change.
With the latest release, the content of your actual file will be updated by default. So, you just need to skip the commit of your change.

In this first version the updated YAML file will not be patched. It is parsed into JSON, after the update its converted back to YAML. This means that comments and blank lines will be removed in this process and the intend of the updated content can be different to the previous.
By default each value will be interpreted as string. To use other kinds of value types you can use the specified YAML tags as shown here: JS-YAML -Supported YAML types. Use this syntax as string, see the test workflows as example
