Build and deploy Go applications as container images on Kubernetes. More information: https://ko.build/reference/ko/.

• Build and publish a container image from a Go package import path:

ko build {{import_path}}

• Build and load a container image into a local Docker daemon:

ko build {{[-L|--local]}} {{import_path}}

• Apply Kubernetes manifests with Go image references resolved to digests:

ko apply {{[-f|--filename]}} {{path/to/manifest.yaml}}

• Create Kubernetes resources with resolved image references:

ko create {{[-f|--filename]}} {{path/to/manifest.yaml}}

• Print resolved Kubernetes manifests without applying them:

ko resolve {{[-f|--filename]}} {{path/to/manifest.yaml}}

• Build and run a Go package on Kubernetes:

ko run {{import_path}}

• Delete Kubernetes resources defined in a manifest:

ko delete {{[-f|--filename]}} {{path/to/manifest.yaml}}

• Log in to a container registry:

ko login {{registry.example.com}} {{[-u|--username]}} {{username}} {{[-p|--password]}} {{password}}
