✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — the kubectl kuberc era 💅

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about this lil corner of the kubernetes manual (section 1, user commands, iykyk). we're talking about kubectl kuberc and it's genuinely iconic.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubectl kuberc — Manage kuberc configuration files 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kubectl kuberc [OPTIONS]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Manage user preferences (kuberc) file. fr fr, that's the whole vibe.

The kuberc file allows you to customize your kubectl experience. it's giving main character energy for your CLI. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these are the flags you didn't even ask for but got anyway, because your parent command said so. 💀

• --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. yes, you can be someone else. lowkey shapeshifting.
• --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. stack 'em up, bestie.
• --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. > ⚠️ bestie this one is literally called insecure, do NOT be casual about it. 🔥
• --kubeconfig="" — Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
• --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.
• --match-server-version=false — Require server version to match client version
• -n, --namespace="" — If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
• --password="" — Password for basic authentication to the API server
• --profile="none" — Name of profile to capture. One of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex|trace)
• --profile-output="profile.pprof" — Name of the file to write the profile to
• --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. zero = infinite patience, which is a choice. 🫶
• -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

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

live footage of you being a kuberc legend:

# View the current kuberc configuration
kubectl kuberc view

# Set a default value for a command flag
kubectl kuberc set --section defaults --command get --option output=wide

# Create an alias for a command
kubectl kuberc set --section aliases --name getn --command get --prependarg nodes --option output=wide

that third one? absolute slay. you just invented getn. 🧚
