kubectl-neat is a kubectl plugin and standalone CLI that removes clutter (system metadata, defaults, status fields) from Kubernetes YAML/JSON manifests to make them readable. It can process local files or stdin, or wrap `kubectl get` to clean output in one command.

Use cases

• clean up verbose kubectl get yaml output
• make kubernetes manifests readable again
• strip system-added fields from k8s yaml
• convert kubectl output between yaml and while tidying it
• diff kubernetes resources without noise
• tidy exported kubernetes resource files

When to choose

• you frequently inspect or export Kubernetes resources and want concise output
• you want a quick krew-installable kubectl plugin with zero config
• you need to compare or store manifests without system clutter

When to avoid

• you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or support for new Kubernetes features
• you need a supported tool for production automation pipelines
• you want a project accepting community contributions
