k8sh

Interactive shell wrapper to kubectl.
k8sh allows you to save key strokes and see your context and namespace in the command line. Avoid mistakes and save time

Usage

# k8sh
kubectl --context=staging >set_context prod
prod
kubectl --context=prod >set_namespace test
test
kubectl --context=prod --namespace=test > get pods

k8sh offers:

constant reminder of your conext and namespace (if set)
tab completion of all normal kubectl methods
- currently only get and describe will auto complete existing kubernetes objects
normal command line options and arguments are passed transparently

Installation

pip install -U git+git://github.com/ejether/k8sh.git

Requirements

k8sh requires:

kubectl binary must be installed and available on the $PATH
python 2.7
a valid kubeconfg at ~/.kube/config or path set in the environment variable $KUBECONFIG

Known issues

Limited support for the flexible plurality that kubectl offers i.e pod vs pods. k8sh will still pass the plural version through to kubectl but it will not tab complete for existing kubernetes objects
