# Concurrent kubectl
 [](https://travis-ci.org/CanopyTax/ckube) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/CanopyTax/ckube) [](https://github.com/CanopyTax/ckube/releases/latest) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
A cli to simplify working with kubectl for some common workflows
#### Installation
Find the latest binaries [here](https://github.com/canopytax/ckube/releases/) or use `homebrew` on macOS
```
brew tap canopytax/ckube
brew install ckube
```
#### Usage
```$xslt
$ ckube
A CLI to simplify working with kubectl.
Usage:
ckube [command]
Available Commands:
deployment Get information about deployments
exec execute a command in a container
help Help about any command
logs get logs from a service
ls Interactive list of pods
nodes Lists pods grouped by node
service Interactive view of your services
top View cpu and memory usage for pods
Flags:
--context string the kubernetes context (defaults to value currently used by kubectl)
-h, --help help for ckube
--kubeconfig string path to kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests (defaults to $KUBECONFIG or $HOME/.kube/config)
-l, --labels string Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2)
-n, --namespace string the kubernetes namespace (defaults to value currently used by kubectl)
Use "ckube [command] --help" for more information about a command.
```
Targeting pods can be burdensome (i.e. in a deployment with replicas). If a k8s cluster has a service called `nginx` you could have several pods which might be named something like this:
```$xslt
nginx-3528986049-kpd4z
nginx-3528986049-71s10
nginx-3528986049-f6mwf
nginx-3528986049-ltx6j
nginx-3528986049-m3cmm
nginx-3528986049-h8cnn
nginx-3528986049-6v4c1
```
Getting logs for the nginx service is easy with `ckube`
```
# single uspecified nginx pod:
ckube logs nginx
# all nginx pods
ckube logs nginx -a
# follow the logs
ckube logs nginx -f
```
Similar concurrent functionality exists for `exec`
You can toggle through your services and see the associated pods. `ckube service`
You can use `ckube nodes` to show which pods are running on each node
[](https://asciinema.org/a/150564)
Get an interactive view of your pods with `ckube ls`. You can further refine the prompt results by searching using `/`. Selecting a pod will print detailed pod information returned by `kubectl describe`
