I want to extract and process the metadata from PNG images and the first line of .safetensors files for LLM’s and LoRA’s. I could spend ages farting around with sed or awk but formats of files are constantly changing. I’d like a faster way to see a summary of training and a few other details when they are available.
jq, and its Yaml sibling, yq.
Specifically this version of yq - there are other versions bundled with distros that look and act very differently and lack the potency of this version.
Seriously, can’t get those 15 minutes back.
I have a very handy command in my .vimrc for this -
command! JSON setlocal filetype=json | %!jq .Anytime I’m in a json file that isn’t formatted it’s as simple as typing
:JSONto have it all sorted.And there is htmlq too, if you ever need to scrape some stuff from a website :)
