as per kubernetes cheatsheet why should we use below commands? what is the purpose?

source <(kubectl completion bash) # setup autocomplete in bash into the current shell, bash-completion package should be installed first.
echo "source <(kubectl completion bash)" >> ~/.bashrc # add autocomplete permanently to your bash shell.

it’s for autocompletion. meaning after you type “kubectl get”, then press “tab”, kubectl will suggest the valid subsequent word of your command.

Yes

I would also recommend the next two lines in the cheat sheet (the k alias). That allows you to run: k … instead of having to type in kubectl
