kubectl tool reinvented to be more reactive and interactive

I felt that the output from kubectl get pod -w is very cluttered and it is a pain in my ass to understand which pod is running, which pod is exactly terminating so I built kubelive which updates the status of the pods in realtime without cluttering the terminal

• node v10 or higher

npm install -g kubelive

• List the pods in the cluster

kubelive get pods

• List the services in the cluster

kubelive get services

• List the replication controllers in the cluster

kubelive get replicationcontrollers

• List the nodes in the cluster

kubelive get nodes

• List resources from a different context

kubelive get <resource> --context <name>

• List the pods in the cluster in a jiffy

kubelive

• Get help on all available commands

kubelive help

• Get the current kubelive version

kubelive --version

Kubelive also supports short names for resources similar to kubectl, the below command will list services

kubectl get svc
