KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is a page straight outta the kubernetes manual, section 1 (the "User" section, for the record). Eric Paris wrote the original back in Jan 2015, and now it's your turn to read it. let's go 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubectl config unset — Unset an individual value in a kubeconfig file

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kubectl config unset [OPTIONS]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Unset an individual value in a kubeconfig file. yeah. that's the whole vibe. poof, gone, no cap ✨

PROPERTY_NAME is a dot delimited name where each token represents either an attribute name or a map key. and listen — map keys may not contain dots. that's the rule, don't fight it 🙈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't even unset's own flags, they're inherited from the parent command, but they're yours to use and we're listing every single one because we don't skip 💜

• --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
• --certificate-authority="" — Path to a cert file for the certificate authority
• --client-certificate="" — Path to a client certificate file for TLS
• --client-key="" — Path to a client key file for TLS
• --cluster="" — The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
• --context="" — The name of the kubeconfig context to use
• --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 — like, be so serious about that one, bestie 😭
• --kubeconfig="" — use a particular kubeconfig file
• --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.

• --proxy-url="" — Proxy URL to use for requests to the API server
• --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
• --username="" — Username for basic authentication to the API server
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
• --warnings-as-errors=false — Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code
