Advantages over stern? #127

Open Aracki opened 1 year ago

Can someone explain why would I use kail instead of stern in simple terms?

What are the biggest advantages?

I just installed kail today after using stern for something like 8 years. I have installed it because I am starting to get weird errors in k8s 1.29, so firstly; kail is maintained. Stern has not seen a commit in 5 years.

Stern is coloured, kail seems to be this super bright white. Need to work out if I can get coloured containers/pods. Stern has a short hand for 'since', and Stern's default for the option seems more sane over Kails 1s. Stern is more a grep.

Kail seems to have more options for selecting different k8s native objects and watching them.
