`kustomize` is a command line tool supporting
template-free customization of YAML (or JSON) objects
that conform to the [kubernetes style]. If your
objects have a `kind` and a `metadata` field,
`kustomize` can patch them to support configuration
sharing and re-use.
For more details, try a [demo].
## Installation
This assumes [Go](https://golang.org/) (v1.10.1 or higher)
is installed and your `PATH` contains `$GOPATH/bin`:
<!-- @installkustomize @test -->
```
go get k8s.io/kubectl/cmd/kustomize
```
## Usage
#### 1) Make a base
A [base] configuration is a [kustomization] file listing a set of
k8s [resources] - deployments, services, configmaps,
secrets that serve some common purpose.
![base image][imageBase]
#### 2) Customize it with overlays
An [overlay] customizes your base along different dimensions
for different purposes or different teams, e.g. for
_development, staging and production_.
![overlay image][imageOverlay]
#### 3) Run kustomize
Run `kustomize` on your overlay. The result
is printed to `stdout` as a set of complete
resources, ready to be [applied] to a cluster.
See the [demos].
