I'd just be glad for the community to standardize on one or the other. I don't care either way but right now we sometimes have both .yml and .yaml in the same directory! For GitHub Actions (the only place where I use yaml) there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus yet.

Well, now there’s an RFC to refer to, and it makes a clear choice: .yaml.

The two replies I received--one saying .yml is the GitHub standard, and the other saying .yaml is the RFC standard--neatly summarizes the situation we're in. I don't think this extension mess is ever getting fixed.

GitHub Actions uses .yml in examples. [1]

Thought it supports both equally.
