# kubecfg
A simple command line tool to add and remove kubectl config files to your environment.
The basic premise is this: You have a number of Kube environments. kubectl supports having those environment configs in different files. This app helps you add and remove files to the saved kubectl environment variable $KUBECONFIG. It saves this in ~/.bashrc or in your Windows environment variables (for the current user).
Find the file you want to add, run `kubecfg -a <filename>` and boom, added. `-r` to remove it. Use `-s` to show the current config paths.
Kubecfg supports Linux (Bash) and Windows (Powershell or Bash).
## Installation
- Requires [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
```
npm install -g kubectl
```
## Usage
Navigate to the path that your config file resides and type:
```
kubecfg -a <filename>
```
To remove that file
```
kubecfg -r <filename>
```
This will update your .bashrc with the new paths.
You'll need to reload .bashrc after you've run the app (any assistance on how to elegantly do this automatically is welcome!)
```
. ~/.bashrc
```
## Switch cluster configs
Remember the [cheet sheet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/) commands.
```
kubectl config view
```
```
kubectl config current-context
```
```
kubectl config use-context my-cluster-name
```
