Summary

When a configuration file exists but is empty, YAML parser returns None.

This change returns an empty dict to represent the empty configuration.

This fixes the following issue for empty config file:

File "/home/dereckson/dev/python/general/lib64/python3.13/site-packages/mergedictionaries/app/app.py", line 118, in <lambda>
  self.context["config"].get("git", []), self.context["git"]
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Test Plan
  • create an empty configuration file
  • merge-dictionaries --extract
