Adding key=value pair into objects in list based on bash command output

[tony-sol]

I wanna build yaml doc, which is list of object, like

- name: repo
  sshUrl: git@github.com:repo.git
  branches: 
    - origin/master
    - origin/test
    ...

I use gh tool for build initial structure and get

- name: repo
  sshUrl: git@github.com:repo.git

then, add branches field with

cat .repo.list.yml | yq '.[] |= .branches=[]' -P 

So, the next step is to fill branches list and here is the question - is there a way to exec bash command, base on current context and use its output as value?, eg.

cat .repo.list.yml | yq '.[] |= .branches=[$(cd .name; git branches --remote; cd -)]' -P 

it doesn't work like this obviously, but maybe there is some workaround?

yq can read env variables from current shell, but as war as i know, there is no callbacks|closures in bash, which may be used as env to evaluate.

Workaround which i've got:

find . -type d -name .git -execdir zsh -c ' export name=$(basename $(pwd)); export branches=$(git branch --remote --no-color | grep -v "origin/HEAD" | awk '"'"'{print $1}'"'"'); cat ../.repo.list.yml | yq '"'"'.[] | select(.name == env(name)) | . |= .branches=("${branches}" | envsubst | split("\n")) | [.] '"'"' '\;

It's very ugly, but it works

There isn't a way to exec into bash from yq atm - only other thing I can suggest is using a bash loop, like here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62898925/using-yq-in-for-loop-bash/70162342#70162342
