Create & Distribute a Plugin for K8s in Minutes? Easy!
summary
Explains how to create and publish a kubectl plugin quickly: demonstrates a working plugin implemented as a bash script that decorates kubectl get output with seasonal emojis, supports -h help, ignores blank/name lines, and selects emojis randomly. Recommends using any language that builds a binary (Go suggested), packaging with goreleaser to generate releases and the plugin manifest, and publishing through a krew index so users can install it with kubectl krew install.
