Create configmap from file or env-file

The create configmap command as 2 possibilities to create it from a file:
--from-file : the key is the filename, the content of the file is the value
--from-env-file: the file contains key,value pairs (key=value)

The example on page "Create a ConfigMap from a File" (create from file permission-reset.properties) is wrong, in my opinion. It should be :

kubectl create configmap permission-config \
--from-env-file=<path/to/>permission-reset.properties

and not

kubectl create configmap permission-config \
--from-file=<path/to/>permission-reset.properties

The video later has an example with from-file with an index.html file

    You are correct, the suggested syntax is the appropriate one for the referenced example.
    Thank you for flagging this typo, it shall be corrected for this context.
