kubernetes - Kubectl Export is deprecated . Any alternative

Question

I'm looking for a way to export a yaml file from a deployed component but without the cluster specific information.

kubectl get MYOBJECT --export -o yaml > my.yaml

but since "export" is now deprecated (since 1.14 and should normally disappear in 1.18 (didn't find it in changelog), what would be an alternative ?

thanks

Using JQ does the trick.

kubectl get secret <secretname> -ojson | jq 'del(.metadata.namespace,.metadata.resourceVersion,.metadata.uid) | .metadata.creationTimestamp=null'

produces exactly the same JSON as

kubectl get secret <secretname> -ojson --export
