kx wraps kubectl and gives every row of a listing a number. Run kx get pods once and the pods are 1, 2, 3; from then on every other command takes those numbers instead of a name you have to read off the screen and retype.

kx get pods          # 1  api-7d8f...   2  billing-5c4b...   3  cache-9a1e...
kx logs 2
kx describe 1 3
kx delete 3..5

Nothing else changes: flags you already know pass through to kubectl, the output is kubectl’s own table with an index column in front, and every command is one you can still run by hand.

Getting started Install kx and run your first indexed listing. Concepts How indexes resolve, where they are kept, and how to configure the rest. Guides Things kx does that kubectl makes you assemble by hand. Reference Every command, argument and flag, generated from the CLI itself.
