Switch your current kubernetes context and namespace graphically by selecting from a tree.  

kubeswitch talks to the kubernetes API and does not depend on kubectl.

![Demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielb42/kubeswitch/master/demo.gif)

**Note for Non-Admin Users:** If you are a cluster tenant without API-permission to list namespaces, kubeswitch won't work for you (as it can't retrieve available namespaces). Sorry, there's not much we can do about that.

## Install

Available for Linux and MacOS: [Latest Release](https://github.com/danielb42/kubeswitch/releases/latest)

## Config

Read from the default location `~/.kube/config`. If not present, the location is read from environment variable `KUBECONFIG` (remember to `export`). That env variable can contain multiple locations separated by `:` from where configs are merged together.

## Run

| Run... | to... |

|-|-|

| `kubeswitch` | select context/namespace graphically |  

| `kubeswitch ` | switch to namespace in current context quickly |  

| `kubeswitch  ` | switch to context/namespace |

| `kubeswitch  .` | switch to `default` namespace of context |
