+:description: pass:q[Quickly become familiar with rpk commands for basic Redpanda tasks, including creating, producing to, describing, and deleting topics, as well as consuming records and managing consumer groups.]
+// Do not put page aliases in the single-sourced content
+// tag::single-source[]
+
+This guide shows how to run the Redpanda CLI, `rpk`, for basic Redpanda tasks, including creating, producing to, describing, and deleting topics, as well as consuming records and managing consumer groups. Follow these examples to quickly become familiar with `rpk` commands.
+
+Consider creating an rpk profile to simplify your development experience with multiple Redpanda clusters by saving and reusing configurations for different clusters. For more information, see xref:get-started:config-rpk-profile.adoc#about-rpk-profiles[About rpk profiles].
+
+== Create a topic
+
+To start streaming data, first create a topic as the destination for your records:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+rpk topic create tutorial
+----
+
+Output:
+[source,bash]
+----
+TOPIC     STATUS
+tutorial  OK
+----
+
+See xref:reference:rpk/rpk-topic/rpk-topic-create.adoc[].
+
+== Produce records to a topic
+
+Produce records to the topic. Downstream consumers will then be able to read these records. To exit the producer session, press `Ctrl+C`:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+rpk topic produce tutorial
+----
+
+Additional input:
+[source,bash]
+----
+hello
+world
+----
+
+Output:
+[source,bash]
+----
+Produced to partition 0 at offset 0 with timestamp 1734640650348.
+Produced to partition 0 at offset 1 with timestamp 1734640653558.
+----
+
+See xref:reference:rpk/rpk-topic/rpk-topic-produce.adoc[].
+
+== Get a description of a topic
+
+Check the topic’s configuration and status to ensure that it’s ready for use:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+rpk topic describe tutorial
+----
+
+Output:
+[source,bash]
+----
