kuse

kuse is a simple tool to manage your kubeconfig file with symlinks.

It :just: symlinks various kubeconfigs from a given directory to your main kubeconfig.

How do I use it

Usage: kuse [--kubeconfig KUBECONFIG] [--sources SOURCES] [--short] [NAME]

Positional arguments:
  NAME

Options:
  --kubeconfig KUBECONFIG
  --sources SOURCES
  --short
  --help, -h

• just run kuse, it will create a configuration file
• in the configuration file XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kuse/kuseconfig.yaml you can set the location of your kubeconfig (defaults to ~/.kube/config) and your source kubeconfig directory (defaults to ~/kubeconfigs)
  • you can also use --kubeconfig or --sources at any time to set those values
• run kuse to show the current kubeconfig in use
• run kuse <name> to pick a different one

Example

-> % ls ~/kubeconfigs
development.yaml  production.yaml

-> % ls -l ~/.kube/config
lrwxrwxrwx /home/user/.kube/config -> /home/user/kubeconfigs/development.yaml

-> % kuse
kuse current target: development
available targets: [development production]

-> % kuse production
set kubeconfig to: /home/jz/kubeconfigs/production.yaml

-> % kuse
kuse current target: production
available targets: [development production]

-> % kuse -short
production%   

But can't I use kubectl's built in context management?

Sure, go for it.
