Replace a value in yaml with yq and bash environment variable

Let's have a file values.yaml:

container:
  name: aaaa
file:
  name: test.txt

Define an environment variable:

NEWNAME=bbbb

Make the replacement:

yq e ".container.name = \"$NEWNAME\"" values.yaml

Output:

container:
  name: bbbb
file:
  name: test.txt

For inline change - add -i to yq
