So you are following a long tutorial…

And you are getting bloody tired of copying and pasting all the YAMLs… urgh.
What if I told you that I can make your work 50% less painful? Would you pay me a coffee? ☕

Please refer to the YAML below

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: definitely-not-prod
  labels:
    owner: "friday-5pm-dev"
spec:
  containers:
    - name: chaos-container
      image: busybox
      command: ["sh", "-c", "echo 'Deploying... just kidding!' && sleep 3600"]
      lifecycle:
        postStart:
          exec:
            command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo 'Context set correctly?'"]
        preStop:
          exec:
            command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo 'Goodbye, cruel cluster!'"]
  restartPolicy: Never
  nodeSelector:
    coffee-supply: "critical"

You can simply copy the YAML above and use pbpaste to pipe your clipboard through the kubectl apply with the command below:

pbpaste | k apply -f-

Tadá! Works like a charm

pbpaste

Now be careful with what you copy 🫡
