How can I make kubectl silent?

Solution 1:

Here is what worked in my case (after command execution output is completely silent):

kubectl port-forward pod-name 1234:1234 2>&1 >/dev/null &

which says send stderr output to the same place where stdout output which is /dev/null

Tested for:

Ubuntu 18.04

Kernel 5.4.0-70-generic

GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
