6 kubectl config - Modify kubeconfig files
7
11 kubectl config [OPTIONS]
12
16 Modify kubeconfig files using subcommands like "kubectl config set cur‐
17 rent-context my-context"
18 The loading order follows these rules:
21 ·
23 item If the --kubeconfig flag is set, then only that file is loaded.
25 The flag may only be set once and no merging takes place.
26 item If $KUBECONFIG environment variable is set, then it is used as a
27 list of paths (normal path delimitting rules for your system). These
28 paths are merged. When a value is modified, it is modified in the
29 file that defines the stanza. When a value is created, it is created
30 in the first file that exists. If no files in the chain exist, then
31 it creates the last file in the list.
32 item Otherwise, ${HOME}/.kube/config is used and no merging takes
33 place.
