Parent

Parent simply returns the parent nodes of the matching nodes.
Simple example
Given a sample.yml file of:
a:
  nested: cat
then
yq '.a.nested | parent' sample.yml
will output
nested: cat
Parent of nested matches
Given a sample.yml file of:
a:
  fruit: apple
  name: bob
b:
  fruit: banana
  name: sam
then
yq '.. | select(. == "banana") | parent' sample.yml
will output
fruit: banana
name: sam
No parent
Given a sample.yml file of:
{}
then
yq 'parent' sample.yml
will output
