About The Project

Port forwarding in kubernetes using kubectl can be a bit difficult if the user wants to port forward multiple resources, where he needs to switch between multiple terminals or write scripts which allows you to run multiple resources on a single terminal. This could be made easier using an interactive prompt, where the user can run port-forwarding for multiple resources from the same terminal easily.

Install

Compile from source

Clone:

$ git clone github.com/arjit95/kubepf
$ cd kubepf

Get the dependencies:

$ go get -t -v ./...

Build:

$ go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o kubepf ./cmd/kubepf

Usage

Interactive:

$ kubepf -i

CLI:

$ kubepf
kubepf handles all the different resources in a single
session, so you don't have to switch terminals or write
bash scripts to port-forward multiple resources.

Usage:
  kubepf [command]

Available Commands:
  completion  Generate completion script
  help        Help about any command
  start       Starts port forwarding on resource
  stop        Stops port forwarding on resource

Flags:
      --as string                      Username to impersonate for the operation
