.SH NAME
.PP
kubectl config - Modify kubeconfig files


.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBkubectl config\fP [OPTIONS]


.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Modify kubeconfig files using subcommands like "kubectl config set current-context my-context".

.PP
The loading order follows these rules:

.RS
.IP "  1." 5
If the --kubeconfig flag is set, then only that file is loaded. The flag may only be set once and no merging takes place.
.IP "  2." 5
If $KUBECONFIG environment variable is set, then it is used as a list of paths (normal path delimiting rules for your system). These paths are merged. When a value is modified, it is modified in the file that defines the stanza. When a value is created, it is created in the first file that exists. If no files in the chain exist, then it creates the last file in the list.
.IP "  3." 5
Otherwise, ${HOME}/.kube/config is used and no merging takes place.
