## About

This action can be used to [forward](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/) local ports on GitHub runners to workloads in your Kubernetes cluster.

Current implementation is to setup a `kubectl port-forward` daemon in background and immune to hangups, which make local ports on runner available to subsequent steps.

Note that this action follow [official *kubeconfig* authentication methods](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) and you need to sign in your K8s cluster via other actions such as [kubeconfig4sa](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/kubeconfig-for-service-account-sa), or manually set `KUBECONFIG` environment variable for this action in your workflows file.

## Example usage

```yaml

- name: Setup KUBECONFIG

  uses: vbem/kubeconfig4sa@v1

  with:

    server:     https://your-kubeapi-server:6443

    ca-base64:  ${{ secrets.K8S_CA_BASE64 }}

    token:      ${{ secrets.K8S_SA_TOKEN }}

    namespace:  my-namespace

# This action will forward port 8080 on runner to port 80 of your service in Kubernetes!

- name: Setup Kubernetes port-forward daemon

  uses: vbem/k8s-port-forward@v1

  with:

    workload: 'svc/mysvc'

- name: Request a service in Kubernetes

  run: curl localhost:8080

```
