oc: List pods in a project.
$ oc get pods
try on your machine

The command "oc get pods" is used to retrieve information about the pods running in an OpenShift or Kubernetes cluster.

"oc" stands for OpenShift CLI (Command Line Interface), which is a command-line tool used to interact with OpenShift clusters. Similarly, "kubectl" is the CLI tool used for Kubernetes clusters.

"get" is the action performed by the command, which retrieves specific resources from the cluster.

"pods" refers to a type of resource in Kubernetes and OpenShift. A pod is the smallest unit of deployment in Kubernetes, representing a single running process or a group of tightly coupled processes.

So, the command "oc get pods" lists all the pods currently running in the OpenShift cluster. It provides information about the name, status, and other metadata of each pod.
