OC-CONFIG-RENAME-CONTEXT(1)

🌸 OC CONFIG(1) — oc config rename-context ✨

okay bestie, this one's from the Openshift CLI User Manuals corner of the universe (manual name: OC CONFIG, iykyk) and it's honestly such a clean little glow-up tool 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

oc config rename-context — renames a context from the kubeconfig file 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

oc config rename-context [OPTIONS]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, it renames a context from the kubeconfig file. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

CONTEXT_NAME is the context name that you want to change. (the old one, the one that's giving "before" ✨)

NEW_NAME is the new name you want to set. (the "after" era, the main character rebrand 💅)

🌟 Note: if the context being renamed is the 'current-context', that field gets updated too. no cap, it follows you to your new name. literally cannot leave it behind 😭

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

• --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 🔁

• --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 genuinely, bestie, be careful with this one, it's giving red flag 🚩
• --kubeconfig="" — use a particular kubeconfig file.
• --kuberc="" — path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. this can be disabled by exporting the KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off.

• --profile-output="profile.pprof" — name of the file to write the profile to.
• --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.
