Disable with comments

Disabling checks for a specific line

To prevent yamllint from reporting problems for a specific line, add a directive comment (# yamllint disable-line ...) on that line, or on the line above. For instance:

# The following mapping contains the same key twice,
# but I know what I'm doing:
key: value 1
key: value 2  # yamllint disable-line rule:key-duplicates

- This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long but yamllint will not report anything about it.  # yamllint disable-line rule:line-length
  This line will be checked by yamllint.

or:

# The following mapping contains the same key twice,
# but I know what I'm doing:
key: value 1
# yamllint disable-line rule:key-duplicates
key: value 2

# yamllint disable-line rule:line-length
- This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long but yamllint will not report anything about it.
  This line will be checked by yamllint.

It is possible, although not recommend, to disabled all rules for a specific line:

# yamllint disable-line
-  {    all : rules ,are disabled   for this line}

If you need to disable multiple rules, it is allowed to chain rules like this: # yamllint disable-line rule:hyphens rule:commas rule:indentation.

Disabling checks for all (or part of) the file

To prevent yamllint from reporting problems for the whole file, or for a block of lines within the file, use # yamllint disable ... and # yamllint enable ... directive comments. For instance:

# yamllint disable rule:colons
- Lorem       : ipsum
  dolor       : sit amet,
  consectetur : adipiscing elit
# yamllint enable rule:colons

- rest of the document...

It is possible, although not recommend, to disabled all rules:

# yamllint disable
- Lorem       :
        ipsum:
          dolor : [   sit,amet]
-         consectetur : adipiscing elit
# yamllint enable

If you need to disable multiple rules, it is allowed to chain rules like this: # yamllint disable rule:hyphens rule:commas rule:indentation.
