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
