yq: Merge two files and print to `stdout` (v3).
$ yq merge ${filename1-yaml} ${filename2-yaml} --colors
try on your machine

This command is using the "yq" tool to merge two YAML files (${filename1-yaml} and ${filename2-yaml}). The "--colors" flag is used to display the output with color highlighting.

The "yq" tool is commonly used for manipulating and working with YAML files. In this case, it is being used to merge two YAML files into a single output. The contents of ${filename1-yaml} and ${filename2-yaml} will be combined, and any overlapping or conflicting elements will be resolved based on the merge rules.

The "--colors" flag is an optional parameter that adds color highlighting to the output. When enabled, it can make it easier to distinguish different elements of the merged YAML file visually.
