This command sets the global configuration for Skaffold to use a local Kubernetes cluster. This means that when you run Skaffold commands, it will assume that you have a Kubernetes cluster running on your local machine and will deploy your application to that cluster.
Note that this command assumes that you already have a Kubernetes cluster set up locally. If you do not have one set up, you will need to do so before running this command. Additionally, this command should only be used if you want all of your Skaffold projects to use the same local Kubernetes cluster. If you want to use different clusters for different projects, you can set the local-cluster
option in each project’s Skaffold configuration file instead of using this global setting.
