skaffold

brew install skaffold v2.22.1 Apache-2.0

Go command-line tool for iterative Kubernetes app development with automated build, push, and deployment.

Why you might care

Skaffold streamlines the dev loop: detect code changes, rebuild containers, push to registry, and redeploy to your cluster—all automatically. It's a build orchestrator for Kubernetes workflows, eliminating manual kubectl/docker commands and fitting naturally into CI/CD pipelines. Pairs well with local clusters (kind, minikube) or remote ones.
