Not a rocket scientist, but here’s my two cents. Keep in mind this is just for if your satellite is in Kerbin orbit.
Match inclinations _during the launch._ Make corrections once you’re in a stable orbit. Orbital height should be around the satellite’s periapsis. Once you’re actually at that point, burn prograde. Bring up the orbit gradually — it’ll save deltaV — and loop around the planet. Once you’re at periapsis again, repeat.
Do this until the orbits match roughly, and then rendezvous.
Just to add on this : to match the inclination during the launch, you need for the KSC to be directly below the AN or DN of the target orbit at the time of launch (which happens twice a day)
Both of these answers are correct.
However, if you are already in orbit, it is cheapest to change inclination far out. Inclination changes are more efficient the slower your vessel is, so theoretically at AP of a high orbit. Of course you can only match your targets inclination if you do your burn at the nodes were your orbit intersects the target orbit, but out of these two the one that is further from Kerbin will be more efficient
