netplan: usage by command line (without manually editing this annoying yaml file)?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
It looks like netplan is the future, but compared to this simple command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
it's much more work to edit the annoying yaml file (the yaml parser feels like a 20 years old technology…).
Does someone know a nice tool to modify the netplan config by just using the command line?

If you're using a desktop machine, or using wireless, or VPN, then NetworkManager should be used. If you've got a server, which remains fairly static, then netplan should be used. Once your .yaml file is edited, generated, and applied, you shouldn't have to regularly change/edit it. Edit your question and show mecat /etc/netplan/*.yaml.

If you are using an Ubuntu version that uses netplan, it is very doubtful that your ethernet interface is eth0. Please double-check:ip add show

@heynnema thanks for your clarification, but we just expect that a modern technology offers both: a configuration file, which can be modified by shell commands, too. So we can choose the more useful way depending on the situation :-)

The ifconfig command still exists in Ubuntu, but there is no equivalence between what ifconfig and netplan are intended to do. ifconfig is a tool for modifying the current state of an interface on the system. netplan is a tool for persistently managing the configuration of the network on a system.
If you know how to configure your network interfaces with a series of ifconfig commands, you could add a systemd unit or init script to run these at boot, but this would be less well integrated with the system's boot than using netplan.
There are presently no command line tools for editing netplan configuration.
