Run validation programmatically

[mschoettle]

I find the integration for validating YAML files in vscode very helpful. It would also be nice to have the ability to validate programmatically using the same settings. For example, as a pre-commit hook and/or in CI. Is this possible?

I am aware of other linters or the check-yaml pre-commit hook. However, they complain about non-standard features that this extension can handle and would also require a different set of settings.
