11 kubectl config set [OPTIONS]
12
16 Sets an individual value in a kubeconfig file
17 PROPERTY_NAME is a dot delimited name where each token represents
20 either an attribute name or a map key. Map keys may not contain dots.
21 PROPERTY_VALUE is the new value you wish to set. Binary fields such as
24 'certificate-authority-data' expect a base64 encoded string unless the
25 --set-raw-bytes flag is used.
26 Specifying a attribute name that already exists will merge new fields
29 on top of existing values.
