Helm Values Merger
Merge Helm values.yaml files with later-document-wins semantics.
What is Helm Merge?
A Helm-style values merger: combine base and override documents with deep-merge semantics where nested maps merge and scalars/lists are replaced.
How it works
Documents are parsed with js-yaml and merged pairwise with Helm semantics: objects deep-merge, everything else is overwritten by the later document.

Examples
Layer merging for Helm
Merge a base values.yaml with environment-specific overrides — deep keys combine instead of being replaced, matching Helm semantics.
Common mistakes
Shallow replace vs deep merge
A naive merge overwrites whole subtrees. This tool merges nested maps so an override only changes the keys it specifies.
Frequently asked questions
How are lists handled?
Lists are replaced wholesale (Helm behavior), not merged element-wise — the tool documents this in the result.
Can I merge more than two files?
Yes — stack any number of layers; later layers win on conflicts.
