[navekeng]

Shoutout to @chewie913 & @NostraDavid2 for the suggestion of jq!🤠

Let me know in the comments what i should do next!



Also good catch by @etcher6841

The boolean select example at 12:19 is incorrect, you should drop the quotation around "true" and use a double equal sign :

select( completed == true )

This is super practical, thanks! Only suggestion would be to use the Chapters feature that YouTube has for videos where you can name each section of the video after the current flag or concept that you're talking about. A lot of people will come here that are like me who mostly know how to use these tools but are just looking to learn a few new things about them. It's nice to be able to quickly browse the chapters.

I realized that I’ve watched 3 or 4 of your videos over the past few days. I’ve learned quite a bit about things I (apparently only partially) use daily. Thank you!

Thanks you Navek, for making this guide. I was actually having hard time understanding JQ from its manual.

[GustavoZIMBA]

I’m loving all these videos you are publishing! Please keep doing it. Great video!

[RootsterAnon]

also don't forget to output that to another file with > so you can diff the changes in nvim. I've used jq for some time but this video actually opened my eyes on how i should use jq.

Nice video !

Very helpful! I'm loving the guides you're making!

Nice video and super useful stuff! Subbed cause I see you have a lot more of these practical guides that I'm sure I'll want to reference soon! Having a github repo where you store and share your episode notes would be so sick! I could see this being really useful for young devs and sys admins :)

What just happened with the greater than equal to symbol out of nowhere? @11:47

[brycethompson]

Great video for an intro or refresher to jq, thanks!

[judgewest]

Hey thank you for this tutorial. It's the first time I've ever heard of this. Is it fair to say this is very much necessary for bash which doesn't necesarily deal will with this kind of parsing, as opposed to powershell or python which deals with objects a little more elegantly???

[iamzwn]

This was super helpful, thanks! love the format and look forward to seeing more

[rafiraf]

Loved the video! Just a suggestion, you don't have to cat | the file, you can just pass it directly to jq as last argument.

[Drahlous]

Very nice, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[michaell]

Excellent explainer tutorial! You are awesome :)

Preventing from saying 4th

Edit: You hearted my comment before i even watched the full video

[cyrillus]

Wow so cool, thank you! Got here after listening to Primeagen.

[uavrill]

You should really make a video about tmux, your content really make it easy for me and others.

[GoldenBeholden]

Really neat, though I prefer Nushell for this purpose for better pipelining.
