Extracting a slice of YML

[juanca]

I only recently got into using code_ownership. My workflow seems to be interested in finding out a particular key-value in the Team YML.

Would it be a good idea to add a flag to retrieve a bit of YML?

e.g.

bin/codeownership for_file --get=some.yml.value some/file/here.js

Hi @juanca! This isn't an issue that has come up for us. Whenever we've needed specific information about a team, it's been within a ruby script so we'll do something like CodeOwnership.for_file(file_path).attribute. We'd be happy to review a PR for this feature if you want to put one up!

My teammate provided us with a good bash solution:

function who-owns() {
    owner=$(bin/codeownership for_file "$1" | head -1 | cut -c7-)
    config=$(rg -l "$owner" config/teams)
    echo Team: $owner
    yq "$config" | yq '.slack'
}
