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