Is there any way to change yamllint options?

[robin-wayve]

For example, if I wanted to use indent-sequences: false since that's how the yaml spec presents sequences https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/#21-collections

afaik, it's possible to put a .yamllint file inside the project root directory and ansible-lint will use it.

Example of .yamllint:

---
extends: default

rules:
  indentation:
    indent-sequences: false

A follow-up: it seems like some yamllint options aren't respected by --write. eg. setting additional allowed-values in truthy, I still see everything transformed to true and false, even if I put yaml[truthy] in skip_list.

I don't know how --write is supposed to work regarding the skip_list. I guess this may deserve a bug report ?

Rewriting yaml files does not preserve yaml 1.1 style truthy values because ruamel.yaml prefers yaml 1.2 and it is a lot of work to get it to preserve yaml 1.1 bits. I'm focused on adding reliable jinja reformating so that long jinja formulas don't look so bad. So, I don't have the bandwidth to look at all the places that would need to be overridden to support preserving those truthy values.

It's all good, I'm just trying to understand the status quo: thanks.
