This repository provides two utilities for bi-directional conversions between CSV and YAML formats:

1. Script-based Conversion: An interactive Python script that prompts the user to choose a conversion direction and then to provide the appropriate input and output file paths.
2. CLI-based Conversion: A command-line utility that allows users to specify the conversion direction and file paths as arguments, offering a streamlined conversion process suitable for automation and batch processing.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/javedali99/bi-directional-csv-yaml-converter.git
   cd csv-yaml-converter

• Python 3.8 or newer
• PyYAML package

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv env
   source env/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `env\Scripts\activate`

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install PyYAML

1. Create a conda environment:

   conda create --name csv_yaml_converter_env python=3.9

2. Activate the conda environment:

   conda activate csv_yaml_converter_env

3. Install the required packages:
