✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kubectl alpha kuberc set manual page 💖 this is the kubernetes manual, section 1, and honestly? it's giving config-girlboss energy. let's get into it 🎀

---

NAME 💅

kubectl alpha kuberc set — Set values in the kuberc configuration

---

SYNOPSIS ✨

kubectl alpha kuberc set [OPTIONS]

---

DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, this command sets values in the kuberc configuration file. like, you know how you're always typing the same flags over and over? this is the fix. no cap 💅

Use --section to specify whether you're setting defaults or aliases. pick your fighter 🫶

For defaults: it sets default flag values for kubectl commands. the --command flag should specify only the command (e.g., "get", "create", "set env"), not resources. okay? not the resources. just the command. periodt.

For aliases: it creates command aliases with optional default flag values and arguments. use --prependarg and --appendarg to include resources or other arguments. iconic behavior honestly 🌸

---

OPTIONS 👑

• --appendarg=[] — Argument to append to the command (can be specified multiple times, for aliases only) 🍓
• --command="" — Command to configure (e.g., 'get', 'create', 'set env')
• --kuberc="" — Path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. This can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off. 💀 yeah, you can just turn it off, wild
• --name="" — Alias name (required for --section=aliases) — don't forget it or it's not gonna work bestie
• --option=[] — Flag option in the form flag=value (can be specified multiple times) ✨
• --overwrite=false — Allow overwriting existing entries
• --prependarg=[] — Argument to prepend to the command (can be specified multiple times, for aliases only) 🧚
• --section="" — Section to modify: 'defaults' or 'aliases' 💖

---

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these are the ones you get for free from the parent command, like a little inheritance gift 💝

• --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
• --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
• --as-user-extra=[] — User extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
• --cache-dir="/home/username/.kube/cache" — Default cache directory

• --disable-compression=false — If true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server
• --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure 😭 so like… don't, unless you know what you're doing
• --kubeconfig="" — Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
• --match-server-version=false — Require server version to match client version
• -n, --namespace="" — If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request

• --request-timeout="0" — The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests.
• -s, --server="" — The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
• --tls-server-name="" — Server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used
• --token="" — Bearer token for authentication to the API server
• --user="" — The name of the kubeconfig user to use
