CLI wrapper to validate YAML inside CI and/or via cli

[dragetd]

Could we add a wrapper script that can be installed in $PATH that allows us to validate YAML files easily from the CLI?

This would also be nice for CI pipelines to check if added YAML files follow the strictyaml syntax.

Yeah, let me think about it.

I don't think it belongs in this project though. It would need to be a separate project (e.g. "strictyaml-validate").

After creating this issue, I found yamllint.

Also see: https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint/issues/426

It is a yaml linter which already supports some of the things strictyaml requires. Maybe we can add the missing things as rules and include a 'strict' preset. Argh, too little time, I'd love to have a shot at this some time.

I'm afraid I'm also short on time these days. I'd like for this to exist, though. If you do create a project for this please let me know and I'll promote it at the top of the README.
