View source for Add newline to end of file

For [[yaml]] files, there should always be a newline character at the end of the file. It's easy to overlook, and some editors are misconfigured to '''remove''' trailing newlines, meaning it can be a battle to keep your yaml syntactically correct. When you can't use tools like [[yamllint]] to fix things, here's a one-liner that does the job.

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
find . -name "*.yaml" -exec sh -c 'if [ -n "$(tail -c 1 "$1")" ]; then echo "" >> "$1"; fi' _ {} \;
</syntaxhighlight>
