Bulk port forwarding Kubernetes services for local development.

kubefwd is a command-line utility that enables seamless local development by bulk port forwarding Kubernetes services to your workstation. It assigns a unique loopback IP to each service, allowing local applications to access cluster services by their in-cluster names without configuration changes.
