kubectl get yaml without managedFields

ky.sh

# kubectl < 1.21
ky() {
  local -r resource="${1:-$(kubectl api-resources --no-headers | choose 0 | fzf)}"
  local -r name="${2:-$(kubectl get ${resource} --no-headers | choose 0 | fzf)}"
  kubectl get "${resource}" "${name}" -oyaml \
    | yq 'del(.metadata.managedFields)' -y \
    | bat -l=yaml --plain --theme=DarkNeon
}

# kubectl >= 1.21
ky() {
  local -r resource="${1:-$(kubectl api-resources --no-headers | choose 0 | fzf)}"
  local -r name="${2:-$(kubectl get ${resource} --no-headers | choose 0 | fzf)}"
  kubectl get "${resource}" "${name}" -oyaml | bat -l=yaml --plain --theme=DarkNeon
}

uses:

• choose
• bat
• python-yq (for older kubectl < 1.21)

then put some aliases elsewhere:

alias kyp="ky pod"
alias kyc="ky cm"
alias kysec="ky secret"
alias kyd="ky deploy"
alias kyrs="ky rs"
alias kyj="ky job"
alias kycj="ky cj"
alias kysm="ky sm"
alias kys="ky service"
alias kysa="ky sa"
alias kyn="ky node"
alias kyh="ky hpa"
alias kyf="ky foo"

to avoid the double fzf prompt if you know what resource you want.
NB: you don't actually need to strip yourself if you have kubectl >= 1.21 due to kubernetes/kubernetes#96878
