kubeauto

The project reduces the difficulty of running and debugging Kubernetes locally (e.g. using Kind or K3s);

• It automatically displays the status of the resource, and the status is updated in real time.
• It automatically tails logs from pods as they're created.
• It automatically forwards ports to the local machine, as they're created.

I wrote it because of buggy scripts that use kubetl logs -l and kube port-forward.
