Prints a table of the most important information about the specified resources. You can filter the list using a label selector and the --selector flag. If the desired resource type is namespaced you will only see results in your current namespace unless you pass --all-namespaces.

Uninitialized objects are not shown unless --include-uninitialized is passed.

By specifying the output as 'template' and providing a Go template as the value of the --template flag, you can filter the attributes of the fetched resources.

To list kubectl get supported resources, type: kubectl api-resources

To list kubectl get options, type: kubectl get --help
To print the list of kubectl global command-line options (applies to all commands), type: kubectl options

Usage: kubectl get [(-o|--output=) format] (TYPE[.VERSION][.GROUP] [NAME | -l label] | TYPE[.VERSION][.GROUP]/NAME ...) [flags] [options]

-A, --all-namespaces=false If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace. -o, --output='' Output format. One of: json yaml wide name custom-columns=... custom-columns-file=... go-template=... go-template-file=... jsonpath=... jsonpath-file=... See custom columns [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl-overview/#custom-columns], golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jsonpath]. --no-headers=false When using the default or custom-column output format, don't print headers (default print headers). --allow-missing-template-keys=true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats. --chunk-size=500 Return large lists in chunks rather than all at once. Pass 0 to disable. This flag is beta and may change in the future. --field-selector='' Selector (field query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='. (e.g. --field-selector key1=value1,key2=value2). The server only supports a limited number of field queries per type. -f, --filename=[] Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to get from a server. --ignore-not-found=false If the requested object does not exist the command will return exit code 0. -k, --kustomize='' Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R. -L, --label-columns=[] Accepts a comma separated list of labels that are going to be presented as columns. Names are case-sensitive. You can also use multiple flag options like -L label1 -L label2... --output-watch-events=false Output watch event objects when --watch or --watch-only is used. Existing objects are output as initial ADDED events. --raw='' Raw URI to request from the server. Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig file. -R, --recursive=false Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory. -l, --selector='' Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='. (e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2) --server-print=true If true, have the server return the appropriate table output. Supports extension APIs and CRDs. --show-kind=false If present, list the resource type for the requested object(s). --show-labels=false When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column) --sort-by='' If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string. --template='' Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview]. -w, --watch=false After listing/getting the requested object, watch for changes. Uninitialized objects are excluded if no object name is provided. --watch-only=false Watch for changes to the requested object(s), without listing/getting first.
