Neat fails to remove creationTimestamp: null in deployment pod template (and maybe other templates)

[spkane]

kubectl create deployment test --image=test --namespace test --dry-run=client -o yaml --replicas=3 | kubectl neat

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  labels:
    app: test
  name: test
  namespace: test
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: test
  template:
    metadata:
      creationTimestamp: null
      labels:
        app: test
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: test
        name: test

Hi @spkane thanks for reporting. yes currently kubectl-neat only cleans the proper metadata at the top level, it doesn't know about other metadata items that "hide" within the pod template. I'll leave this open in case someone wants to propose a solution
