kubectl get -o yaml: is it posible to hide metadata.managedFields

Question

Using kubectl version 1.18, on microk8s 1.18.3

When getting a resource definition in yaml format. Example kubectl get pod/mypod-6f855c5fff-j8mrw -o yaml. The output contains a section related to metadata.managedFields

Is there a way to hide that metadata.managedFields to shorten the console output?

Below is an example of output to better illustrate the question.

apiVersion: v1

  annotations:
    kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
      {"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{},"labels":{"app":"productpage","service":"productpage"},"name":"productpage","namespace":"bookinfo"},"spec":{"ports":[{"name":"http","port":9080}],"selector":{"app":"productpage"}}}

            f:name: {}
            f:port: {}
            f:protocol: {}
            f:targetPort: {}
        f:selector:

Kubectl 1.21 doesn't include managed fields by default anymore

kubectl get will omit managed fields by default now. Users could set --show-managed-fields to true to show managedFields when the output format is either json or yaml.
