kubectl-config

Manage Kubernetes configuration (kubeconfig) files for accessing clusters via kubectl or the Kubernetes API. By default, the Kubernetes will get its configuration from ${HOME}/.kube/config. See also: kubectx, kubens. More information: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#config.

• Get all contexts in the default kubeconfig file:

kubectl config get-contexts

• Get all clusters/contexts/users in a custom kubeconfig file:

kubectl config {{get-clusters|get-contexts|get-users}} --kubeconfig {{path/to/kubeconfig.yaml}}

• Get the current context:

kubectl config current-context

• Set the default namespace of the current context:

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace {{namespace}}

• Switch to another context:

kubectl config {{use|use-context}} {{context_name}}

• Delete clusters/contexts/users:

kubectl config {{delete-cluster|delete-context|delete-user}} {{cluster|context|user}}

• Permanently add custom kubeconfig files:

export KUBECONFIG="{{$HOME.kube/config:path/to/custom/kubeconfig.yaml}}" kubectl config get-contexts
