Thanks for the suggestion, @Moulick!

So I originally used an export.sh script, which I've added to this diff now. Sometimes I fiddle with stuff and then wanna regenerate the Kuebrnetes manifests since I've kubectl edited them to get them into a working state, or updated them with kubectl set.

export_resources.py matches the use of export.sh, where you call it with no arguments and then it exports all your resources of all resource types/kinds to YAML files from your current kubectl context.

kubectl-export is a bit different where it does a single resource. One of the reasons is so I didn't need PyYAML or any other non standard library dependencies for it.

I generally use it in a similar way to export_resources.py though, except for a single deployment or service, e.g.:

kubectl-export -f gitserver.StatefulSet.yaml | jy > gitserver.StatefulSet.yaml 
kubectl-export deploy/nginx | jy > nginx.Deployment.yaml 

These rely on @sourcegraph's useful jy tool that converts JSON to YAML, but for an example that doesn't require something like that:

# kubectl-export-v2 deploy/pgsql | jq '.spec.template.spec.containers[].image'
"sourcegraph/postgres-11.1:19-02-13_22d74790@sha256:10c2ff7a4da422cd75e022b51bef3a0c935f4b3ded335d9679a4f1202db605d2"
"wrouesnel/postgres_exporter:v0.4.7@sha256:dd8051322ceb8995d3d7f116041a2116815e01e88232a90f635ebde8dcc4d3f4"

What about removing nodePort?

@MosheM123 That should be easy enough. I'm planning on moving this to a repo, so folks can PR it.

aight, let me know, I'd love to contribute.
