CLI

Skaffold command-line interface provides the following commands:

End-to-end pipelines:

skaffold run - to build & deploy once
skaffold dev - to trigger the watch loop build & deploy workflow with cleanup on exit
skaffold debug - to run a pipeline in debug mode

Pipeline building blocks for CI/CD:

skaffold build - to just build and tag your image(s)
skaffold deploy - to deploy the given image(s)
skaffold delete - to cleanup the deployed artifacts
skaffold render - build and tag images, and output templated Kubernetes manifests

Getting started with a new project:

skaffold init - to bootstrap Skaffold config
skaffold fix - to upgrade from

Other Commands:

skaffold help - print help
skaffold version - get Skaffold version
skaffold completion - setup tab completion for the CLI
skaffold config - manage context specific parameters
skaffold credits - export third party notices to given path (./skaffold-credits by default)
skaffold diagnose - diagnostics of Skaffold works in your project
skaffold schema - list and print json schemas used to validate skaffold.yaml configuration

Global flags

  -c, --config='': File for global configurations (defaults to $HOME/.skaffold/config)
      --enable-rpc=false: Enable gRPC for exposing Skaffold events
  -f, --filename='skaffold.yaml': Path or URL to the Skaffold config file
  -m, --module=[]: Filter Skaffold configs to only the provided named modules
  -p, --profile=[]: Activate profiles by name (prefixed with `-` to disable a profile)
      --profile-auto-activation=true: Set to false to disable profile auto activation
      --propagate-profiles=true: Setting '--propagate-profiles=false' disables propagating profiles set by the '--profile' flag across config dependencies. This mean that only profiles defined directly in the target 'skaffold.yaml' file are activated.
      --remote-cache-dir='': Specify the location of the git repositories cache (default $HOME/.skaffold/repos)
      --rpc-http-port=50052: tcp port to expose event REST API over HTTP
      --rpc-port=50051: tcp port to expose event API
      --sync-remote-cache='always': Controls how Skaffold manages the remote config cache (see `remote-cache-dir`). One of `always` (default), `missing`, or `never`. `always` syncs remote repositories to latest on access. `missing` only clones remote repositories if they do not exist locally. `never` means the user takes responsibility for updating remote repositories.
