Thanks for the tips, Peter. For fellow readers, note first that his original post (offered at the top here as a link to learnistio.com) is now at:

And as for his first example showing:
kubectl get-contextswhile that will work with minikube, it may not work with other kub implementations, where instead one should use:
kubectl config get-contexts(for that as well as the other args listed in his first point here). The Kub docs confirming this are here:
kubernetes.io/docs/reference/gener...
Thanks Charlie! I've updated the post.
And thank you for the quick attention and response. :-)
For port-forwarding to a Pod, you don't necessarily need to get the Pod name. You can specify a Service or Deployment and kubectl will select one of the backing Pods automatically.
For example:
Good point! I think it’s time to update my scripts - I had that since before kubectl supported forwarding ports to services.
kubefwd is another gig !
Great tips.
You should check k9s: k9ss.io/
Thanks for the tips. For port forwarding actually better to use kube-forwarder.pixelpoint.io/ It makes you more productive than generic CLI
Thanks Alex! I’ll check out that tool.
