YAML Examples Library
19 production-ready YAML configuration files covering CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and more — all copy-paste ready with clear explanations.
Real-world YAML examples help you avoid common pitfalls — indentation errors, missing required fields, and incorrect data types — before they break your builds or deployments. Each example in this library reflects patterns used in production projects, annotated so you understand not just what each field does, but why it's there.

Why learn from real YAML examples?
YAML's indentation-sensitive syntax is easy to get wrong, especially when copying from documentation or Stack Overflow snippets that may be out of date. The examples in this library are maintained to reflect current best practices — using pinned action versions, least-privilege permissions, and idiomatic patterns that work in real pipelines.
Each example includes a breakdown of the key fields so you understand what to change for your own project, plus a link to the DotYAML validator so you can paste and verify the YAML before committing it.
