Kexplain is an interactive kubectl explain. It supports viewing the resource documentation like less and jumping around between documentation of fields.

When kube config doesn't exist or k8s API is not available, a static API document from GitHub will be used. So you can use kexplain without k8s clusters!

• Pre-compiled binaries are available in the release page

• Docker

docker run --rm -it tony612/kexplain pod.spec

• Building from source code

make build
cp _out/kexplain /YOUR/PATH

# or docker
make docker-build

# Get the documentation of the resource and its fields
kexplain pod

# Get the documentation of a specific field of a resource
kexplain pod.spec.containers

Then move around. See Key bindings.
