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. item If
26 $KUBECONFIG environment variable is set, then it is used as a list of
27 paths (normal path delimiting rules for your system). These paths are
28 merged. When a value is modified, it is modified in the file that
29 defines the stanza. When a value is created, it is created in the
30 first file that exists. If no files in the chain exist, then it cre‐
31 ates the last file in the list. item Otherwise, ${HOME}/.kube/config
32 is used and no merging takes place.
