skaffold fix should leave comments as-they-are

[shantanugadgil]

Currently skaffold fix gobbles up all comments. This is a feature request to leave the comments in place

Expected behavior

comment line beginning with # should be let alone

Actual behavior

comments are removed

Information

• Skaffold version: v1.7.0
• Operating system: Ubuntu 16/18
• Contents of skaffold.yaml: N/A

This seems like an entirely reasonable request. Thank you for the suggestion!

@tstromberg any idea on how we should do it?

Perhaps this can help: https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/issues/132

I keep re-applying the comments after every skaffold fix :sweat_smile:

Maybe, have some comment-next line mapping whenever skaffold fix is done so that it can be restored after fix. But, this would be a custom approach. Not sure if a standard way is available.

@tvvignesh, i have a PR in works.
due to time constraint, i could not finish. Is this something you would be interested in completing? I can help ?

@tejal29 Hi. Currently working on my startup (that will take 2 more months to complete) since I am working alone. While I can take this up in the future, now might be difficult. Not sure what timeline you have for this.
