Like most cli commands, you can you the --help for further help on a kubctl subcommands.

This command will hide resources that have completed, such as pods that are in the Succeeded or
Failed phases. You can see the full results for any resource by providing the '--show-all' flag, but
this flag does not include the uninitialized objects by default, unless '--include-uninitialized' is
explicitly set.
By specifying the output as 'template' and providing a Go template as the value of the --template
flag, you can filter the attributes of the fetched resources.
Examples:
# List all pods in ps output format.
kubectl get pods
# List all pods in ps output format with more information (such as node name).
kubectl get pods -o wide
# List a single replication controller with specified NAME in ps output format.
kubectl get replicationcontroller web
# List a single pod in JSON output format.
kubectl get -o json pod web-pod-13je7
# List a pod identified by type and name specified in "pod.yaml" in JSON output format.
kubectl get -f pod.yaml -o json
# Return only the phase value of the specified pod.
kubectl get -o template pod/web-pod-13je7 --template=
# List all replication controllers and services together in ps output format.
kubectl get rc,services
# List one or more resources by their type and names.
kubectl get rc/web service/frontend pods/web-pod-13je7
# List all resources with different types.
kubectl get all
Options:
--all-namespaces=false: If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces.
Namespace in current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace.
--allow-missing-template-keys=true: If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or
map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
--experimental-use-openapi-print-columns=false: If true, use x-kubernetes-print-column
metadata (if present) from openapi schema for displaying a resource.
--export=false: If true, use 'export' for the resources. Exported resources are stripped of
cluster-specific information.
-f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to get from a
server.
--ignore-not-found=false: Treat "resource not found" as a successful retrieval.
--include-extended-apis=true: If true, include definitions of new APIs via calls to the API
server. [default true]
--include-uninitialized=false: If true, the kubectl command applies to uninitialized objects.
If explicitly set to false, this flag overrides other flags that make the kubectl commands apply to
uninitialized objects, e.g., "--all". Objects with empty metadata.initializers are regarded as
initialized.
-L, --label-columns=[]: Accepts a comma separated list of labels that are going to be presented as
columns. Names are case-sensitive. You can also use multiple flag options like -L label1 -L
label2...
--no-headers=false: When using the default or custom-column output format, don't print headers
(default print headers).
-o, --output='': Output format. One of:
json|yaml|wide|name|custom-columns=...|custom-columns-file=...|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=...
See custom columns [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl-overview/#custom-columns], golang
template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template
[http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jsonpath].
--raw='': Raw URI to request from the server. Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig
file.
-R, --recursive=false: Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you
want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
-l, --selector='': Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l
key1=value1,key2=value2)
-a, --show-all=false: When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
--show-kind=false: If present, list the resource type for the requested object(s).
--show-labels=false: When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels
column)
--sort-by='': If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field
specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API
resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
--template='': Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template,
-o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates
[http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
-w, --watch=false: After listing/getting the requested object, watch for changes. Uninitialized
objects are excluded if no object name is provided.
--watch-only=false: Watch for changes to the requested object(s), without listing/getting
first.
Usage:
kubectl get
[(-o|--output=)json|yaml|wide|custom-columns=...|custom-columns-file=...|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=...]
(TYPE [NAME | -l label] | TYPE/NAME ...) [flags] [options]
Use "kubectl options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).
