Is it possible to leave comments intact?

[TJM]

We have been trying to use this tool to apply a simple change to a helmrelease file, but there are two things happening that are causing us pain..

• The file is completely re-ordered - this obviously doesn't change the end results, but it makes for an ugly commit, when I just wanted to change one value
• All comments are stripped

I am assuming it is just reading in the data and merging them programmatically, then writing back out a new yaml file, with no knowledge of the original file, rather than modifying the original file with the changes from the others?

You're correct in why that's happening. Unfortunately it is unlikely to change.

Something like ytt might be more what you're looking for, but i don't know how it deals with comments?
