Description
Would it be possible to add options "-4" and "-6" (or similar) to select the address family on the kubectl command line? This would be helpful for colleagues in home office with a broken network configuration, for badly configured VPN connections, etc.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at kubectl's command-line entry point and trace how connection address families are selected. Review existing flag handling and networking tests, then verify that the requested IPv4 and IPv6 options consistently select the intended address family.
