        # fubectl

Because it's fancy-kubectl !

## Prerequisites?

* [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)

* [kubectl](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes)

* [kubectl tree](https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectl-tree)

* [kubectl neat](https://github.com/itaysk/kubectl-neat) - only for kexp to work

* [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)

## Installation

You can directly download the [`fubectl.source`](https://rawgit.com/kubermatic/fubectl/main/fubectl.source)

and save it in some directory.

Download:

```bash

curl -LO https://rawgit.com/kubermatic/fubectl/main/fubectl.source

```

then add to your .bashrc/.zshrc file:

```bash

[ -f /fubectl.source ] && source /fubectl.source

```

Alternatively you can install fubectl using the ZSH plugin manager of your

choice.

## What can it do?

### `k` – alias for kubectl

Like g for git but 233% more effective!

Examples:

 - `k get nodes`

 - `k get pods`

 - `k version --short`

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/k.gif)

---

### `kw` – alias for 'watch kubectl'

Examples:

 - `kw nodes`

 - `kw pods`

 - `kw nodes,pods,services`

---

### `kall` – All pods in all namespaces

Get all pods

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kall.gif)

---

### `kwall` – Watch all pods in all namespaces

Watch all pods in all namespaces every 2 seconds.

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kwall.gif)

---

### `kdes` – Describe a resource

Examples:

- `kdes pod`

- `kdes service`

- `kdes nodes`

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kdes.gif)

---

### `kdel` – Delete a resource

Examples:

- `kdel pod`

- `kdel secret`

- `kdel pvc`

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kdel.gif)

---

### `klog` – Print the logs for a container in a pod

Examples:

- `klog` - Print the last 10 lines

- `klog 100` - Print the last 100 lines

- `klog 250 -f` - Print the last 250 lines and follow the output, like `tail -f`

- `klog 50 -p` - Print the last 50 lines of the previous container

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/klog.gif)

---

### `kex` – Execute a command in a container

Examples:

- `kex bash` - Start a bash in a container

- `kex date` - Print the date in a container

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kex.gif)

---

### `kfor` – Forward one or more local ports to a pod

Examples:

- `kfor 8000` - Forwards port 8000 to a pod

- `kfor 8000:80` Fowards local port 8000 to a pod's port 80

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kfor.gif)

---

### `ksearch` – Search for string in resources

Examples:

- `// TODO`

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/ksearch.gif)

---

### `kcl` – Displays one or many contexts from the kubeconfig file

Context list

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kcl.gif)

---

### `kcs` – Sets the current context

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kcs.gif)

---

### `kcns` – Switch the default namespace

`kcns` - Set the current default namespace from list

`kcns kube-system` - Set kube-system as default namespace immediately

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kcns.gif)

---

### `kdebug` – Start a debugging Pod in a Cluster

Usage:

![kGif](./demo_src/kdebug.gif)

---

### `kp` – Open the Kubernetes dashboard

Opens `localhost:8001/ui` in your browser and runs `kubectl proxy`

---

## Extra!

Do you want to have the current kubecontext in your prompt?:

```bash

export PS1="\[$(kube_ctx_name)\] $PS1"

```

for the current namespace (this is currently slow, because it calls kubectl every time):

```bash

export PS1="\[$(kube_ctx_namespace)\] $PS1"

```

## Customization

`fubectl` can be customized via following environment variables

* `FUBECTL_WATCH_CMD` – alterative `watch` command, e.g. [viddy](https://github.com/sachaos/viddy)

* `FUBECTL_NO_KCL` – disable `kcl` alias, since it may conflict with [KCL language CLI](https://www.kcl-lang.io/)

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues [file an issue][1] or talk to us on the [#fubectl channel][12] on the [Kubermatic Slack][15].
