`plan`

$$kpt alpha live plan [PKG_PATH | -] [flags]$$

$$PKG_PATH | -: Path to the local package which should be applied to the cluster. It must contain a Kptfile with inventory information. Defaults to the current working directory. Using '-' as the package path will cause kpt to read resources from stdin.$$

$$--field-manager: Identifier for the **owner** of the fields being applied. Only usable when --server-side flag is specified. Default value is kubectl. --force-conflicts: Force overwrite of field conflicts during apply due to different field managers. Only usable when --server-side flag is specified. Default value is false (error and failure when field managers conflict). --inventory-policy: Determines how to handle overlaps between the package being currently applied and existing resources in the cluster. The available options are: * strict: If any of the resources already exist in the cluster, but doesn't belong to the current package, it is considered an error. * adopt: If a resource already exist in the cluster, but belongs to a different package, it is considered an error. Resources that doesn't belong to other packages are adopted into the current package. The default value is `strict`. --output: Determines the output format for the plan. Must be one of the following: * text: The plan will be printed as text to stdout. * krm: The plan will be printed as a Plan KRM resource to stdout. This can be used as input to kpt functions for automatic validation. The default value is ‘text’.$$

# create a plan for the package in the current directory and output in KRM format.
