Issue with k8s.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/

[AlexPSplunk]

This is a Bug Report

On the page: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/#forward-a-local-port-to-a-port-on-the-pod
Under the section: Forward a local port to a port on the Pod
This page suggests using kubectl port-forward to forward ports to your pod. However, kubectl port-forward does not return, it is not daemonized by default. The page does not note this fact

Proposed Solution:
Either:

• modify the page to indicate that kubectl port-forward will not return, and that the user needs to open another terminal window to continue with the exercises;
  OR
• modify the kubectl port-forward commands to include a & (ampersand) at the end of the line, so that the job will run in the background and return to the terminal prompt.

Maybe adding a flag to kubectl port-forward is a better way to solve this problem, such as docker run --detach?
