Generate .circleci/config.yml by merging multiple files
Blog
https://dev.to/suzukishunsuke/splitting-circleci-config-yml-10gk
Motivation
Our motivation is to split a huge .circleci/config.yml per service.
We have a monorepo where many services are managed.
.circleci/config.yml of this repository has over 6000 lines, and it's hard to maintain the file.
Why don't we use circleci config pack?
The directory structure and naming rule don't match our needs. And we want to merge the list of workflow's jobs.

How to use
$ circleci-config-merge merge <file> [<file> ...] > .circleci/config.yml
How to test in CI
In CI, we should test whether .circleci/config.yml and the result of circleci-config-merge merge is equal as YAML.
circleci-config-merge doesn't provide the feature to compare YAML, so please use the other tool like dyff.
Please see the example suzuki-shunsuke/example-circleci-config-merge as a reference to split .circleci/config.yml and setup CI.
Split File Format
The split file format is same as .circleci/config.yml.
Merge Rule
Coming soon.
