kx

Changes KUBECONFIG environment variable in the current shell

Installation

You can either download compiled binary from releases to a directory in you $PATH or compile it yourself by cargo install k8s-kx. Binaries in releases are build using musl toolchain, therefore they have no external dependencies (not even libc).

Add the following to your .bashrc alias kx='source <("k8s-kx")'

Usage

$ kx

Configuration

• $KX_SEARCH_DIR will let you choose KUBECONFIG from this directory
• $KX_CONFIG_PATH will read configuration from this file (format below)
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kx/config.json
• ~/.config/kx/config.json
• if none of them are found, will search for kubeconfigs in ~/.kube

Config file format

json { "search_dir": [ // absolute path "/path/to/dir/with/cubeconfigs", // will be resolved relative to $PWD "path/to/cubeconfigs", // will be resolved relative to this config file "./path/to/cubeconfigs", // will be resolved relative to home directory "~/path/to/cubeconfigs", // will try to find first existing directory: // $PWD/path/to/cubeconfigs // $PWD/../path/to/cubeconfigs // $PWD/../../path/to/cubeconfigs // ... // /path/to/cubeconfigs "^path/to/cubeconfigs", ] }
