kubectl alpha kuberc set - Set values in the kuberc configuration

SYNOPSIS¶

kubectl alpha kuberc set [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION¶

Set values in the kuberc configuration file.

Use --section to specify whether to set defaults or aliases.

For defaults: Sets default flag values for kubectl commands. The --command flag should specify only the command (e.g., "get", "create", "set env"), not resources.

For aliases: Creates command aliases with optional default flag values and arguments. Use --prependarg and --appendarg to include resources or other arguments.

OPTIONS¶

--appendarg=[] Argument to append to the command (can be specified multiple times, for aliases only)

--command="" Command to configure (e.g., 'get', 'create', 'set env')

--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.

--name="" Alias name (required for --section=aliases)

--option=[] Flag option in the form flag=value (can be specified multiple times)

--overwrite=false Allow overwriting existing entries

--prependarg=[] Argument to prepend to the command (can be specified multiple times, for aliases only)
