kube-context

kube-context

kube-context is a simple and easy-to-use CLI tool written in Go, which allows you to choose a Kubernetes config in a user-friendly way. It simplifies the process of switching between Kubernetes contexts by providing a menu-driven interface to list, select and switch between Kubernetes contexts.

Installation

Homebrew

Please note that kube-context requires the gcc package to be installed, so please install it with your favorite package manager.

brew tap DB-Vincent/kube-context https://github.com/DB-Vincent/kube-context
brew install DB-Vincent/kube-context/kube-context

Manual

Linux

export LATEST_VERSION=$(curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/DB-Vincent/kube-context/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')
mkdir /tmp/kube-context
wget -qO- https://github.com/DB-Vincent/kube-context/releases/download/$LATEST_VERSION/kube-context_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvz -C /tmp/kube-context
mv /tmp/kube-context/kube-context ~/.local/bin/kube-context
rm -rf /tmp/kube-context
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/kube-context

You should now be able to execute the kube-context command and switch between contexts.

Windows

$LATEST_VERSION = ((Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://api.github.com/repos/DB-Vincent/go-aws-mfa/releases/latest).Content | ConvertFrom-JSON).tag_name
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/DB-Vincent/kube-context/releases/download/$LATEST_VERSION/kube-context_Windows_x86_64.zip -OutFile ~\Downloads\kube-context.zip
Expand-Archive ~\Downloads\kube-context.zip -DestinationPath ~\Downloads\kube-context
Move-Item -Path ~\Downloads\kube-context -Destination ~/Documents/

You can now execute ~\Documents\kube-context\kube-context.exe to run the kube-context command. In order to execute the command without ~\Documents\kube-context\, add the ~\Documents\kube-context\ path to your environment variables.

Usage

To use kube-context, simply run the kube-context command in your terminal: kube-context

This will display a list of available Kubernetes contexts, which you can select from using the arrow keys and Enter key.

Once you have selected a context, kube-context will switch your current context to the one you selected.
