skaffold: Run a pipeline file.
$ skaffold run -f ${skaffold-yaml}
try on your machine

The command "skaffold run -f ${skaffold-yaml}" is a command that is used with the Skaffold tool. Skaffold is a command-line tool that facilitates the continuous development and deployment of Kubernetes applications.

Here is a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "skaffold" is the command that runs the Skaffold tool.
  • "run" is a subcommand that tells Skaffold to start the build and deploy process for the specified resources.
  • "-f" is a flag that specifies the file or files to be used as the configuration for the build and deploy process.
  • "${skaffold-yaml}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual path or filename of the Skaffold configuration file (usually named "skaffold.yaml").

So, when running the command, you should replace "${skaffold-yaml}" with the actual path or filename of your Skaffold configuration file, and Skaffold will use that file as the basis for the build and deploy process of your Kubernetes application.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
