#### A YAML Overlay Tool with templating tendencies.

YAML Overlay Tool, or Yot for short, often pronounced /yacht/, is a tool
to assist with patching YAML files. Yot uses JSONPath to query YAML documents
within YAML files, and to perform a change. YAML Overlay Tool operates on YAML
nodes. It is able to preserve and inject head, foot, and line comments into the
new output versions of the files that you manipulate.
