✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing kubectl plugin list 💅 this is from the kubernetes manual, section 1, and it was originally written by Eric Paris back in Jan 2015 — ancient history, but we still stan 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubectl plugin list — List all visible plugin executables on a user's PATH

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kubectl plugin list [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically it lists every available plugin file chillin' on your PATH, bestie. If you want to see just the plugin binary names without the whole dramatic full path, hit the --name-only flag ✨

And like… what even counts as an "available plugin file"? The vibe check is:

• it's executable
• it lives anywhere on the user's PATH
• it starts with "kubectl-"

That's it, that's the criteria, no cap. 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --name-only=false — if true, show only the binary name of each plugin instead of its full path. Short king energy, love that for you 🎀

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones come down from the parent command, they're not even plugin list's own, they're just vibing in the family group chat:

• --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. could be a regular user, could be a service account in a namespace, we don't judge 💅
• --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation. this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups, stack 'em up ✨
• --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, so like… be careful, fr fr 💀
• --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, it's giving immortal 🫶
• -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. no more ignoring the red flags, we're healing 😭
