Is there any way to highlight k8s yaml files in vi?

Hi. The kodekloud courses of kubernetes came by default with yaml syntax highlighting, so you can see the colors and edit more comfy. But in the engineer platform it doesn’t seem to be. Is there any way to add the same using vi or editing the .bashrc ?

The KKE terminals are the basic of the basic CentOS install. These come with the old-style vi editor which does not support highlighting.

The lab terminals are mostly ubuntu with comes with vim (vi improved) by default which does support highlighting. Ubuntu creates a symlink vi -> vim

On the centos terminals you can do

sudo yum install -y vim

Then edit files directly

vim test.yaml

so just install vim, I get it. Thanks for the info @Alistair_KodeKloud :slight_smile: I didn’t notice the symlink!
