kuberc (v1beta1)

defaults allow changing default option values of commands. This is especially useful, when user doesn't want to explicitly set options each time.

aliases allow defining command aliases for existing kubectl commands, with optional default option values. If the alias name collides with a built-in command, built-in command always takes precedence. Option overrides defined in the defaults section do NOT apply to aliases for the same command. kubectl [ALIAS NAME] [USER_OPTIONS] [USER_EXPLICIT_ARGS] expands to kubectl [COMMAND] # built-in command alias points to [KUBERC_PREPEND_ARGS] [USER_OPTIONS] [KUBERC_OPTIONS] # rest of the options that are not passed by user in [USER_OPTIONS] [USER_EXPLICIT_ARGS] [KUBERC_APPEND_ARGS] e.g.

• name: runx command: run options:
  • name: image default: nginx appendArgs:

  ---

  • custom-arg1 For example, if user invokes "kubectl runx test-pod" command, this will be expanded to "kubectl run --image=nginx test-pod -- custom-arg1"
• name: getn command: get options:
  • name: output default: wide prependArgs:
  • node "kubectl getn control-plane-1" expands to "kubectl get node control-plane-1 --output=wide" "kubectl getn control-plane-1 --output=json" expands to "kubectl get node --output=json control-plane-1"

name is the name of alias that can only include alphabetical characters If the alias name conflicts with the built-in command, built-in command will be used.

command is the single or set of commands to execute, such as "set env" or "create"

prependArgs stores the arguments such as resource names, etc. These arguments are inserted after the alias name.

appendArgs stores the arguments such as resource names, etc. These arguments are appended to the USER_ARGS.

options is allocated to store the option definitions of alias. options only modify the default value of the option and if user explicitly passes a value, explicit one is used.

command refers to a command whose option's default value is changed.

options is a list of options storing different default values.

Option name (long form, without dashes).

In a string format of a default value. It will be parsed by kubectl to the compatible value of the option.
